Found by a private citizen who was checking traps in a desert area. He discovered skull on top of the ground embedded about 1 inch into the ground. He had been in the same area in early November and had not seen the skull then. A brief search of the area by police did not result in additional elements. This area is heavily traveled by undocumented border crossers. This skull is likely a "trophy skull" per the forensic anthropology report.
