[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1807383, member: 16453"] I dug out my old anatomy book to compare the nerve openings on the under side of the skull to that of a dog. They don't seem to line up with their positions in relation to the tympanic bulla and the zygomatic arches. Also TC's find seems to have a much bonier roof to the mouth which carries a lot further back towards the larynx comparing to the palatine bone of a dog. Overall from the very first photo TC posted the skull just seems to have that bit more primitive look to it. That is why I suggested the possibility of a turtle early on. I have not looked up a turtle skull yet so don't really know what one looks like. Ken [/QUOTE]
