Identify this skull?

On top of the photo is a set of buttons, one of them says "all sizes." Click it, and it gets full sized

(though, I forgot I could host pictures here...)

It just seemed like it might be the skull, but I suppose it could be other stuff, since it really does lack an outside shell like most skulls seem to have. Perhaps it's a tail? I really have no clue. I mainly want to know if it could eat me, or inflict pain. Because I was thinking of spending a weekend camped out in the woods sometime....

I think the "skull" looking part is actually a pelvic girdle... probably from a turtle, maybe from an iguana or other lizard.

My best guess.... I really don't think it's a skull. No nasal pit or teeth.

Baby triceratops?

I don't see a skull there. The scaly stuff is the hide (shell) of an armidillo. Bones probably the hip.

Woohoo for half right!

Pretty much, the more I look at pictures of skulls, the most stupid I feel for thinking this was a skull...

And now that the idea of a pelvic girdle was suggested, that seems to me very probably--it has oval hole things for joints, and also those little horns, they look kind of like human hip parts, Is uppose. I don't really know much about anatomy, but this does look like a pelvic girdle or something like that.

I think it's a chupacabra!

For sure an armadillo. check out:

ADW: dasypodidae_axial.jpg

the scales in the image is the tail.

But I do like Chupacabras!! I heard they are good eatin!

I'm seconding the third easy identification of Dasypodidae, aka armadillo. The plate scales give it away.
