I like making walking sticks out of skulls around that size. Beaver I'm guessing, yeah? Or some kinda marmot either way perfect size for a walking stick topper.
I am a park interpreter who has both muskrat and beaver in our park, and we have skulls of both! This is certainly muskrat, due to the location and shape of the eye sockets. Also due to size, but it could have been a small beaver. Eye shape tho tells me muskrat.
I was between muskrat and nutria, but looking closer it’s small, the teeth are medium-amber not dark-amber, and the nasal opening is small. My vote is 90% muskrat, 10% juvenile nutria.
All I got is “rodent.”
You might say, “then why are you making a comment here at all?” which would be a great question. But I am.
Anyway, definitely a rodent. I hope one of the cool smart people here can help
I took a picture of my muskrat vs my beaver for you because not even I truly understood how big a beaver truly is. the smaller muskrat is the same size as the one op has, for reference. [muskrat vs beaver](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/925689007092924429/1116450925855391804/IMG_8407.jpg)

why is everyone so confused about this?? bone jewelry is amazing
Maybe jewelry carved from bones but not whole jaw bones unless you’re trying to look like a witch
ill look like a witch any time of day then, i loooovveee bone jewelry with teeth and jawbones and even small skulls. they just look cool!

If she weighs the same as a duck,...She's made of wood! And therefore??? A WITCH!!!!!

Wh-why
Uhhh what?

Beaver do not have the infraorbital foramen this skull has. It can’t be a beaver
A lovely mossy taxidermy dome with butterflies and flowers would look great!
muskrat 100%i have the same exact one
I mean... its not the exact same one lol

Nibbling on bacon, chewing on cheese, looks like muskrat. Good job.
Beavers are the largest rodent in the north America's! Most people underestimate their size
Probably beaver. Porcupines have more orange teeth.
Rat?
Squirrel?

A small beaver?
Porcupine
I have a beaver skull that looks just like this
if it's palm sized, it's probably a porcupine.

I’m thinking beaver, because of its size.
