Carbon 14 dating at the Niels Bohr Institute (University of Copenhagen) in Copenhagen has shown that the creature lived between 1200 and 1280 AD.
The researchers who in 2008 examined the skull at the Veterinarian High School in Copenhagen merely concluded that “Although resembling a mammal, certain features make it impossible to fit the animal into Linnaean taxonomy”.

What?!
Your saying an alien skull is a hoax, because what...it's form doesn't match a homo sapien's skull?
That's backwards logic mate, even if there is a resemblance to us in it's structure.
Does a sharks skull and tooth arrangement mirror ours? Even though we both developed on the same planet, are based on carbon and DNA, yet are as similar as chalk and cheese.
How you can say it's a fake, based on teeth that appear joined, or that the orientation and appearance of it's sutures (zig-zag lines) is different to ours is..incredible to be honest.
You imagine an ET would follow an exact evolutionary path to our own do you?
What of intelligent design?
It's been widely speculated that these large eyed 'Grey' type ET's may be a genetically engineered species, the features we see could be designed to be the way they are, for specific reasons known only to the designers.
I'm astounded that anyone would call a hoax on this simply because it doesn't follow exactly the same developmental or organisation structures as skeletal remains of hominids from Earth.
If it is an ET skull...the obvious clue to it being different is in the 'E.T.' part of ET skull!

I'm 50/50 on this being fake it does look rather well preserved and I can't see a single missing tooth which seems a bit odd to me
However even if it's not fake there are people alive right this minute that have very strange skull shapes through physical deformity caused by genetic disorders like progeria.
I suspect that it is a fake. However, for the sake of argument, let's say it's not fake. If it's not fake, then we need to find a genetic disorder that causes enormous eye sockets. I am not aware of one, although that does not mean that such a disorder does not exist.

An alien that just happens to have 32 teeth, just like all hominims. The real giveaway is the canine tooth. Not only does it look like it was put in backwards (it slants the wrong way), it also has no corresponding socket on the mandible. You may as well call this Piltdown Man II. Nice job, but whoever did this does not have a degree in paleo-anthropology or he would have done better with the details.

Yes, it was initially researched at the veterinary college (they probably thought it was some obscure kind of animal at first), but the C14 dating was done at the Niels Bohr Institute, at the University.
Here's a link to their website.

I'm having a gander at it, looking for confirmation of the testing.
