Kibkom North Cyprus Forum

My neighbours found a skull in their garden and despite asking many people we can't identify it or even get a meaningful suggestion.

I have posted a query on the Natural History Museum forum but maybe somebody here can identify it.

Is it possible it is a large bird (with the the beak missing).
Try googling pelican skull and you will see similarities, especially the odd projections.

I feel that may not be skull at all but part skeleton of a small animal. There seems to be what looks like a vertebral column in the middle - something that is not found in the skull...

Looks like the remains of the cooked chicken we had last week

With the two hollow pieces which look like legs at the front, it may be some sort of crab.
