paleonet Mystery skull



All,
The apparent muzzle of a small skull with a partial covering of 'spiky' 
dermal bone was recovered recently from the basal Greenhorn Limestone 
(Middle Cenomanian) in Russell County, Kansas (USA). The layer from 
which it was collected is a near-shore marine deposit, but may include 
some terrestial material.

I've put pictures of the specimen up on the web here:

... and would appreciate hearing from anyone who might have an idea what 
it is...
