Identify this skull?

[JahJahwarrior]

Thank you Scubaboard! In less than one day, I got an answer the most random question I have ever asked on here....

It is definitely a bone from an Armadillo, it looks exactly like the section on the far left of the link here.

Thanks again!

Good job, guys!

Taste like chicken!

Not even close. It tastes more like a cross between beef and pork.

Not a skull, looks like pelvis and base of tail ... of an armadillo.

Now I'm definitely going to have to try it!

Now that I know how to see it up close I definitely go with possum on the half shell. If you check out this link you can clearly see that it more than resembles the pelvic arch of an armadillo.

Sorry that the mystery is basically solved. It takes the adventure and excitement out of it. Would much rather it had been something more interesting.

Some of them have Hansen's Disease. I wouldn't eat any.

They're a carrier - that's why the Air Force Survival School stopped making candidates trap and eat one during training.

But don't forget they are dangerous, in Texas these things have done all sorts of despicable things to beer containing vessels. Fortunately they seem to be exhibitionist because it usually only occurs near roadways.

So do not go out in those woods with beer containing vessels!!!!! Especially this time of year - I do believe we are either in or near snipe season.:11:
