I went to Badwater today in Death Valley and got excited about this at first. HOWEVER, I believe it’s fake. I mean, look at the reflection of underneath the skull in the front facing view.
What would you do if you found this?

I want to say lick it to see if it’s bone or stone, but I probably wouldn’t go that far. I’d turn it around to take an upside down picture.

Was this the only one? Did you pick it up to get a better feel for it?

I don’t make a habit of picking up skulls, as I’ve heard that some can carry diseases, plus it was a bit of a ways into the water and I wasn’t wearing the right shoes to go wading.

I wish I had been able to turn it upside down at least!

The ‘teeth’ are painted stripes ?

Yes, certainly fake to me. If I could retrieve it safely, I’d remove it from the park and/or give it to the rangers - they might get a kick out of it or have some use for it.
