Guess the Jawbone...

[disasterpiece7.0]

Well I was thinking leopard seal but close I think It's too small for a sea lion. I know of another leopard seal skull so will try and compare the two.

Yeah, I don't think it is a sea lion judging by the size, but certainly something similar. It's fair big aye. I'd be shocked to see a leopard or jaguar with a skull that big, hence the lion search.

I already told you , its a sabre toothed tiger!

Found this has the right amount of teeth etc. Be aware this has basically the insides of the sea lion as well so view at your own discretion. Not for the squeemish.

pfft...no idea

I'm pretty sure that's Margaret Thatcher's jawbone. You'd best be careful with it.

No way....if it was... the teeth would be bigger !

i'd agree with some large seal

t rex or some sort of dog or maybe wild dog like dingo or those black cats that live in australia there like lions or they call them panthers

Looks a little like a koala. Although I think the length of the jaw is a little long.
Probably completely wrong.

Looks like seal's jaw bone to me!

Could it be a wombat with other teeth missing?....Just guessing though.

That canine is around an Inch long so that would make it the biggest koala or wombat i've ever seen. I'm still thinking leopard seal, but still not 100%.

 

[Slytherin]

Beware the Killer Koalas! :shock:

 

[murry]

Might be a fox jaw

 

[aussie.snakes]

Beware the Killer Koalas! :shock:

Yeh, don't you know? They are breeding with brown snakes to produce killer offspring!

 

[xScarlettex]

i dont reckon its a canine.. it looks too wide.. to me it looks like the front tooth of a marsupial, a quite big kangaroo perhaps?? or a wombat??

 

[Hooglabah]

thats a wombat jaw im almost positive its the bottom jaw its way to big to be a roo but it could be a wombat

 

[xScarlettex]

how old is it?? could it be a macropod?

 

[Vixen]

ITS A THYLACOLEO! :lol: (no not a thycaline)

 

[Slats]

Dont think its a thylacoleo

 

[PhilK]

I'm going with wombat too.. That doesn't look like a canine, it looks like a large incisor - in which case it would be a marsupial skull.

Okay guys here is a shot of a wombat skull, it looks nothing alike......
