Horse skull

I found this in Stainsby beck Thornaby it at first had me baffled but after help from Friends on a US forum i found out it was part of a horse skull
 
 
 

I have no idea of its age as i never excavated it from the Stainton gravel beds located near by.
 
 
 
I hope these images help anyone in the future who comes across a piece like this as it had me confused for a while.
 I have been reliably informed there have been examples like this displayed in Museums listed as bear or big cat brain cases.
