Jaw bone skeleton identification?
I found a jawbone on top of some pluff mud on a river bank in SC. It has no molars, only pointy teeth. It also appears to have a small nostril on the very end of the nose. It is broken, but it seems to have eye sockets a little larger than a quarter. It's somewhat fragile, so its not SUPER old, and definitely not fossilized, just a lil green from sitting in seaweed;) I want to post a pic, but I don't know how :) Thanks for any help!! OH! The piece I have is about 3+ inches wide, and a little over an inch tall. Since it has no molars, it's any of the following...racoon, possum, cat, or a dog. I also looked up Kamodo Dragons, and it's definiely not that either. The tip of the nose on the skeleton is very wide, boxy almost, it doesn't slant like an alligator, or a lizard. I think thats about all the info i have :) Thanks!!
