It's a coon.

The position of a coon's K9's, are such that they are most likely to be knocked out of the jaw first, as the connective tissue degrades.

The upper plate and nasal cavity have already lost integrity, and most of the upper teeth have fallen away.

The front and hind feet are consistent with coon.

The soft tissue dries and degrades at a different rate than the cartilage of the ears on a coon. As that happens, the soft tissue begins to tighten abd pull against the stronger cartilage, giving the ears a pointy shape.

The same thing happens to squirrels ears. Which is why I haven't finished my squirrel mount.
