Help Identify This Skull (1 Viewer)

Any Biologist/Pathologists out there

This skull was found in a creek bottom in TX, the dimensions are approx 5"x 5". Someone suggested that its a pot bellied pig skull, but i find that highly unlikely unless somone discarded a piglet.

The skull looks a bit deformed, either naturally or mechanically.
Any ideas?
For reference:

It's hard to tell from those angles. Would you be able to take a few more from different angles?

Looks like a pig skull if I had to choose.

I'd say either a javelina or a small pig.

It looks to be a subspecies of that rare prehistoric creature, Christoulapithecus.

Looks like a giant rodent, maybe a Nutria? They're pretty common in Louisiana so Texas isn't much of a stretch.

I doubt it. From Henry's picture it looks like there are holes for tusks/canines. Here's a nutria skull and Here's a javelina skull

You've seen my skulls! You've looked in the furnace!

It belonged to a neighbor of yours.. who went by the name of Napp. I offered to buy their house... but, you know how old people grow so attached to things.

Agee, isn't the full name Christoulapithecus semierectus ?

Could it be he has found the remains of Turkey Knapp?
