This is the skull that started this extravaganza. The coyote in question was found by the rail tracks near the Saint Michael's College campus. It seems unlikely that a train killed the coyote given how slowly and loudly the trains move at this particular location. This skull has passed our calibration test. Left-side & right-side measurements of total length, and top and bottom measurements of width are all within 1mm of each other.
