I was told it was found some decades ago in a river bed in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

I tried image searching it but couldn’t quite find an equal one.

Also looks wrong for the location. Does anyone know which animal could it have been?

    I’m just some guy, but I agree that it looks like a South American sea lion skull. Missing the lower jaw and some upper teeth, and possibly with a damaged sinus cavity

      One of the tests they have for Palaeontology students is give them a Sea-lion skull, grey wolf skull, red fox skull and cast of a Thylacine skull.

      Most of the time, they can differentiate the sea-lion or the Wolf, (both Canids), but cant differentiate the Fox from the Tassie Tiger.

        Is this just a fun anecdote or are you telling me something about my guess? Because I just woke up and don’t know how to take things yet
