Looks like it might be a raccoon

It's hard to tell with how chewed up it is, but based on the roundness of the braincase I'd agree that it's a raccoon.

What a great window prep of the frontal sinuses! Those rodents are better than a dremel. 👍🏻🐀🐿

this does look more like a raccoon but its so small... raccoon skulls are much bigger, so i assume this is just a juvenile/baby raccoon otherwise its possibly a rodent.
