My wife was on a walk with our dog and came across this squirrel going to town on a pretty large bone. We’re in a residential neighborhood in the Portland, OR area.

I found these years ago, these are the only pictures I have but I’ve always wondered what it was! It was under a boardwalk so I couldn’t get really close either. Thanks for any insight!

Sorry, should’ve added something for scale, but I’d guess it was 6-8” long.

As noted I found this tooth almost 40 years ago and I'm looking for an id. It was found on the north western coast of Newfoundland on the St. Laurence sea way. I believe its from a whale but not certain. If you are wondering what the red marks are, its 🖍.

It feels like a rock but I can’t say I’ve ever seen a rock shaped so much like a tooth, but I’m not a bone-ologist so idk

Just Sharing A little game I made where you guess the animal from its skull

Thumbnail
gallery
12 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I shared Skulled here a few months ago and didn't expect so many kind comments. A lot of what changed since then came from suggestions people left here, so thank you for that.

If you missed it: the game shows you a skull and you try to guess which animal it belongs to. There's a daily challenge with a few modes:

  • Classic: a few views of the skull (you can zoom in and draw on it), then pick the animal
  • Taxonomy: go from class down to species, one level at a time
  • Skull Match: 4 skulls, 6 names, match them up
  • Speed Run: as many as you can in 60 seconds
  • Odd One Out (new): 3 skulls share a group and 1 doesn't, find it

There are 513 species right now. If you spot a skull that's misidentified or a photo missing its credit, please tell me.

When you get a skull right it goes into an album as a little specimen card, and once in a while you get a rare one, like an X-ray or a cyanotype. Kind of silly, but I really like collecting them.

The first season also starts this Tuesday (Oct 13). Each season is a 2 month "expedition" to a different part of the world with its own species, and I'm keeping the first destination a secret until then.

It's free, you don't need an account, and works fine on both phone and PC.

If you give it a try, I hope you have fun with it. Link's in the comments!

Is that a rat or a mouse?

As you can see, it's small but it doesn't look like a mouse's skull. However, it's also too small to be a rat's skull. I found it on the road

does this need degreasing?

So, I bought this racoon skull at an expo about two years ago. As of recently, I've been a lot more into looking for my own bones and how to clean them, and when I looked back at this skull in particular I thought it looked like it hasn't been degreased, or wasn't degreased long enough. but I wanted more opinions in case it was just staining

I think the 9' rough tide brought it in yesterday and lodged it in this downed tree. Stripped clean but with some intact organs. Only slightly smelly.
