Dear all, My first post on this website! Could anyone help me with the determination of this bone I found on the beach in the Netherlands. One of the surfaces is very distinctive, with a curved triangular shape, that looks like some kind of joint to me. I have searched for quite some time, but nothing really comes close.. The beach I found this on is known for sharkteeth, but also bones of mammals can be found. Any help would be very appreciated!

I would really appreciate any help identifying this (possible) fossil. My son found this blackened subject while he was digging on the beach of Texel, The Netherlands. It’s approximately 70mm long and looks fragmented, heavily eroded and feels solid. There’s a small hole in the top middle (approximately 3mm). Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hello all, My 9 year old son and i found this jaw bone on a beach in the most southwestern part of the Netherlands, the beach is known for fossilized black shark and ray fish tooth findings. And in the same area my Father found a piece of likely a Mammoth or other Mastodon tooth. (we may post pictures of this later). When we found it on the beach the teeth and bone were completely black, but it has brightened since, and after 2 months both are now a sandy beige/brown color. We first thought it was from a large cat like animal, but it has at least 5 molars (possibly it had more where the bone is broken) and in pictures of cat jaws i see only 3. The teeth are rather sharp. At the thin end of the empty space there is another broken part, which suggests it held a canine. The piece of jaw is 9.5 cm or 3.75 inch long. If anyone knows what animal bone this is my son will be very happy, as it's his dream to one day become an archeologist. Thanks
