You are extremely lucky to keep finding all these dragon heads. I am not expert and may be mistaken, but the size and shape of this dragon head is eerily similar to the Custos Regius Draco, or Royal Guardian Dragon of France. The last known sighting was near Nesle, France in 1798, near the end of the French Revolution. How it ended up in West Virginia, I have no idea. Great find and I would never sell it. I would put it in a show case in my home to admire and share with friends and family.

That's the only money I have so I had to try something...
If that is the only money you have, I know it may be tempting to sale the Dragon Head. But you should never do that. I am sure you know of the curse of the dragon, which befalls anyone that tries to profit from the sale of a dragon. Now, I do not know if that applies to fossilized dragons so you may be ok. You would just have to chance it.
