It's not a skull, thats for sure. It looks more like the hip or pelvic region of a small rodent maybe. I really have no idea, I'm just spit balling.

It was found here: St. George Island, FL

Not sure where it was found on the island, however. Its in the northern Gulf of Mexico.

I've found many of these on the shores around here. I even kept one (about 6 inches long) in my room for years. I asked my Biology teacher, years ago, what it was, and he told me, but I can't remember. Trust me, though, it's a very normal animal, even though I can't quite remember which one. If I do remember, or if I find it, I'll be sure to post it. Or, if someone beats me to it, then I won't bother.

Looks like someone found something similar while browsing google images

Possible Crucifix Fish Skull or Sea Bird

It actually was for sell on Etsy..go figure.

Edit to add - now that I googled what a Crucifix fish skull it does look similar but it is missing the obvious "crucifix" like image in the bone ridges...unless it's on the other side.
Yours looks a lot more like the unknown one I posted to though.

Someone on a thread that I am reading also said remnants of a dolphin skull? or a hard head cat fish....also look like this..I don't know.



Here's one of the crucifix ones that it is actually visible on.

Is that a photograph? It looks like it may not be to me.

If it is then I recommend sending it in to an academic department to be identified in case it really is a new discovery.

I think you should read the thread, instead of just looking at the picture in the OP, and then post your random thoughts.
