I'm no forensic pathologist, but I'd call that a jaw bone, not a skull.

That's kind of outside the general purview of a gardening site...

The same one or different ones?
If you compare the size and the teeth, you might be able to figure out the animal.

How big is it? Do you only ever find the molars? Based on the teeth you can see, I'd guess cat or badger but that could be totally wrong without knowing the size or what the incisors look like.
