What is this? REWARD!!!

I hope it will be like that...Oh, by the way..isn't it better if the one who knows the answer [the first post] try to discover it??

Wow, i still have not found anything that could specify what type of skull that is. I hope it wasn't found like on the beach or something, that could open up a plethora of options.

Another concept...how bout this:
I can tell that it's a combination of os sacrum and os cocxygea forming os koxa with the asetabulum at both side (see two little round holes at each side). So, If Joker said that the length of this bone is 6 inches (sacrum + coccyx) then we'll add it with:
- os vertebrae lumbar which nearly the same with os sacrum (+/- 3 inches)
- os vertebrae thorasix (2 times longer than sacrum [+/- 6 inches])
- os vertebrae servix (1.5 times longer than sacrum [+/- 4.5 inches])

and we'll form an os vertebrae measured for 19.5 till 20 inches long. I assumed it's a back bone of an average lizard...
For the length of the other bone, it's just my expectations...

.. as I said...my professor also said that it was os koxa, combination of os sacrum and os coccyx. For the explanation, just see the hole at both side. My professor said that it wasn't a skull because if it's a skull, then those holes will be located at the back (the bigger size) and not at the middle.

Hey, no more post? is it right or not? and if it's right, please send the reward to my living place please....

[MrMistery]

If you read he first post it says that the reward is just a "well done". Not many ways to send that to your home, are there?

[joker45hahaha]

ok, but what animal (i think that we can assume its from an animal) is it from?

[Terry K.]

It almost looks like an alligator/crocodile skull. I don't know the difference between the two as pertaining to the skull, but I'm almost sure of it, especially because you said it's actually 6' long.

I can said that's a lizard's Koxae bone, But my another lecturer said that it could be cock's koxae..

[Kmurphy3]

It looks pretty fake to me......it is too bleached white and new looking to have been found by someone walking through the wilderness, especially one with the climate and environment of Rhode Island. Second, there is no known land animal with a skull structure like that.....sea creatures are another story, but still, i dont believe i have seen anything like that before.

I thought he said it was on the beach on an island, so it almost has to be an aquatic organism.
