For the first time in quite a while, I managed to escape from my desk and spend a little time in the collections of the Dead Zoo. The main reason was to facilitate access for researchers doing some really cool projects, but it also gave me a chance to spend a little time exploring the collections I’m responsible for.
In one of the cabinets I spotted this skull, and I thought it might make a good mystery object:
So, do you have any thoughts on what this might be? As ever, you can leave your questions, observations and suggestions in the comments section below. I hope you enjoy this specimen as much as I did!
Zygoma 
A dog’s tale in shades of grey and silver?
This one could make a lyre out of me…but I won’t let it. On second thought, I’ll go climb a tree.
Sly, all right. Out-foxed me.
At first I thought I was going batty looking at the u-shape on the skull. Without know littoraly how many cm long this is… I’ll refuse to go all black or all white on this.
