Found in the water, in the reeds in our little (6'x10') fish pond out front:
(kind of hard to judge scale--overall length about 3" I would guess?)   |

That's the bone from inside of a small animal's head. The animal is probably dead now.

Just as weird as the skull, there were no other bones or any other part of the body found with it. And if there had been a corpse rotting in our front pond, I think we would have smelled it...

How's it weird that you didn't find anything else? The sick and slow get kilt and eaten by something else. Sometimes snacks are carried off. And it's a possum or a coon. |

Raccoon skull that's been chewed on and laying around for awhile.
The bony projections on the sides are the remainders of the eye sockets (orbits). Eyeballs are chewed out pretty quick by scavengers and the bones get cracked pretty quickly as well. |

Not a fox, racoon, or muskrat, but damned if I know what it is.
The sutures and what is left of the zygomatic arch are wrong. (I think) |

No other bones either, just the skull. The one I have is somewhat deformed like the nose area was struck and broken when the animal was a baby but it healed and you can tell it was an old injury. The lack of obvious eye sockets like a deer or human has always puzzled me. |
