[nuggethunter]

Found this near a hole in the bush. Cant say I know what it is. Anyone got a idea?

It looks like the lower jawbone of a Wallaby.

Maybe lower jaw of pig

 

[nuggethunter]

The tooth/ claw looking bit at the front is what stumps me. Never seen anything like it.

 

[aushunter]

Check out the lower jawbone of this Wallaby Skull.

Well there you go , never would have imagined that to be :8

 

[nuggethunter]

Think you must have found the den of that mythical black panther that people have been chasing for years, it is known to eat wallabies for breakfast.

Note to self: do not crawl down hole

 

[aushunter]

I think the culprit of the naked jawbone is still down that hole.
Looks still fresh to me, could be a fox maybe.
Cheers
Brad....

 

[nuggethunter]

Yes the hole is still very active from what i can see.
What ever is down there can stay. I wasnt going to bother it. If something ran out wile I was there I prob would of shat myself lol.

An older Drop bear with it's front fangs fallen out?

 

[Jaros]

From the shape of the hole entrance it's from the "Tobleronite family of carnivores.

 

[Brumble-Gum]

It could be a Wombat, any in the area it was found?
