Saw these bones on the trail on my way to Excelsior Glen. I'm guessing red fox - maybe someone can confirm?

That's a good guess. The skull definitely looks like the shape of a fox's head.

Hey Matt, can you give me an idea about the size of the skull or length of the lower jaw bone?

lower jaw bone maybe the length of my middle finger, the skull could basically fit into my hand, with maybe a bit hanging over

Given the size of the eye sockets (yeah, not the correct term) in relation to the overall skull, I would say fox too. I was debating red vs. gray, but I'm not that good.
