A BABY who was found dumped dead in the yard of a home may have been up to one month old.

Police have released an image of a towel found at the scene in Charters Towers, northern Queensland, in a bid to identify the child and its mother.

The infant, who had a fractured skull, was found on Sunday morning by a shocked Mahoney St resident as she went outside to feed her dog, the Townsville Bulletin reported.

The child's sex and race are yet to be released and it is understood police are still determining cause of death.

"Early indications are that the child was possibly up to one month old. Our inquiries have identified a distinctive black and white striped skirt and a towel with a light pink and blue flower pattern that we believe are related to our investigation," Townsville Detective Inspector David Nixon said.

"We ask that if anyone has any information about these items they contact Crime Stoppers or their local police."

Police ask anyone who may know a woman who was recently pregnant but cannot explain the loss of her baby to come forward.

"We are also urging the mother to come forward as we hold concerns for her welfare," Insp Nixon said.

Anyone with information should contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

For help in a crisis, call Lifeline on 131 114.
