The edging sort of follows the the suture lines, but not exactly. I'm not sure what that means, though.

Also the relative lengths of the nasal bones of red sq. are shorter. There are other differences, too, but those features could not be seen in my specimen because it was partially destroyed (by zombie, perhaps, given your recent findings).Janet Pesaturohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03827302925591789818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5534164785246075286.post-87921215330141203642010-01-13T11:04:15.574-05:002010-01-13T11:04:15.574-05:00Janet, I have a gray squirrel skull, compliments o...Janet, I have a gray squirrel skull, compliments of a neighborhood fisher, if you'd like for comparison.

I assume grey are larger? Anything else?Dannoreply@blogger.com
