I collect bleached skulls as useful drawing tools. A friend at the nature center gave this to me knowing that I would like it. It was from his horned frog that died last year of an undetermined illness, possibly Frog Wasting Disease, after a long life. It was quite a large male Cranwell. It really shows how their "teeth" are really not teeth at all, but a sharp, serrated edge for grasping food. The bones of this skull are much heavier than those of "lighter" frogs such as ranids.

the teeth on the top jaw of the frog are called "maxillary" teeth, while the 2 teeth near the choanae are called "vomerine" teeth.
