It's an old joke. Whether it originated with Mark Twain or not, I can't say.  But I first heard it over 50 years ago, except the skulls were those of the old and young Montezuma.

I received a question via my web site on what may be an excerpt of
something Twain published: a visit to a souvenir shop in Italy where he
was shown a skull purported to have been that of Julius Caesar. 
 Rejecting that skull, the proprietor returned with a smaller skull. 
 He said it was from a younger Julius Caesar. 

Is this familiar to anyone?
