I am a palaeontologist living and working in Alice Springs, in the red centre of Australia. I moved here with my wife and three kids from Johannesburg, South Africa.

Given the great popularity of Darren Naish's guessing games and my complete immersion in paper writing right now, I'm going to do likewise. So here is a field photo from my archives. The specimen is now prepared. What do you think the fossil is?

Its small and solid (as in no temporal fenestra visible) so I'll go with an exotic guess. A Cynodont skull...
Looks like a piece of a skull.
