All wrong I'm afraid so far.
Scorps, skull collecting is a great hobby and it also allows you to identify other signs and the animals that made them too, such as bite marks etc. I havn't collected any for years, but I used to just bury them for a few months then clean and bleach them afterwards.

ok second guess cat skull wrong canines bit short. Im going for a bear skull and to go one further black bear
Yes it is.
Black Bear was a very good guess though as the skull is very similar in shape.
OK, that looks quite difficult. Definately rodent, definately not British. The cheek bones and eye sockets are like nothing I've seen before. Looks like a plaster replica too. The nasal area is weird too.
Not a beaver - they have a funny upward facing hole in the ear region. Some sort of large rodent with a broad nose. Maybe coypu, capybara or something like that?
It's definately something along those lines. Certainly nothing native to Britain, possibly Europe. I've never seen anything like it. The cheek bone and eye sockets are just weird, as is the nose and nasal area. This one really has me stumped.
I just Googled Wombat skull and that was one of the first images that came up. Nice one, that was a bizarre one for sure.
That's a pretty definitive answer.
I'll dig out some more skulls and get another up. In the meantime, if anyone else cares to share.
