LOL, I knew you'd have something to say to that.
I was trying to think of how to actually implement the word "boner" though.

It's definitely not a skull. Look at the way it connects to the spine. There's nothing there that allows the skull to pivot. If that was the skull, the animal would be perpetually locked into staring forward.
Of course I don't know much about bones; I'm just using logic here so I might be wrong.

I know, thatswhy i thought it wasalizard cause the way it connects.
Im still thinkin its a skull unless sumone can show me other wise.
What about the "bottom jaw"? It hasthose holes in it for theeth or afangs or sumthing.

We don't have lizards in the US that big. The only thing that size would be in the monitor lizard family.
here is a komodo dragon skull:
Trust me. What you have there is a pelvic bone.

I'm not sure what species my pic was of, but I couldn't find a goat pelvis pic from any other direction than what was previously posted. Also there is no spine or tailbone in my pic.

Oh,
But just the way the pelvis is shaped on mine that means those spike things would be on the outside not the inside..
I wrote the natural history and they wrote me back just now saying that it is illegle to take. Vertebrate fossiles and or bones from public land so depending on what i found i might be reported..
Is that what i found? Cause i wont take it their if thats it. Im not trying to get fined.
