Castor? There is a (German) site http://www.biostation-dueren.de/files/schaedel_eur_can_biber.pdf where they compare the cranial bone of a "Castor fiber" with the "Castor canadensis". Maybe it's helpful?
Sleeping one night on it :-) ... I still haven't got a clue. Marmota? I can't think of another so big rongeur. HOW big is it really (unzoomed)? Is it typcally North American? Hm.... Is it possible you know it already and you let us guess along? :-)
OK... typically North American. Last guess - I can't remember ever coming across it here in Germany, and it has a similiar big head as a lapin domestique, and it's a "Rodentia": a porc-épic (Stachelschwein)? So if it is wrong again - je jette l'éponge ... :-)

Hm, the only thing that's clear: it must have been a 'rogeur'. Lièvre? Lapin?
Rongeur oui, but no rabbit or hare.

Non ce n'est pas une marmotte, c'est bien typiquement Nord-Américain et oui bien sûr je sais ce que c'est. Devinette...Rätsel !
C'est gros comme une tête de lapin domestique.
