Hello again. I wanted to share this jaw section I found in Wyoming's White River back in July 2020. My initial thoughts were that it belonged to the primitive canid Hesperocyon, which in my experience has been the most abundant carnivore in those badlands, however, it doesn't quite match the other material I found which I'm confident is dog. While scrolling through the forum I saw some similarities to a jaw section labelled as Daphoenus by @Nimravis on the thread below: The fossil itself is 3 cm long and ~2 cm from the tip of the tooth to the base of the jaw. I'd be interested to see some opinions. @jpc @ParkerPaleo @siteseer
