I am once again asking for your expertise! This is one of the nicest fossils I’ve found, considering fish jaws and teeth are not that rare - but finding a jaw with teeth inside doesn’t happen that often at this beach. It was found at the Zandmotor beach in the Netherlands. This beach is known for Pleistocene mammal fossils. Fish vertebrae and teeth are also common, which may be way older than Pleistocene. I posted this fossil on Reddit some time ago too, but wasn’t able to get a conclusive answer. Someone suggested it might be amiid, but I don’t think amiid are found here. Could it be esox lucius (pike)? The total length is just short of 4cm. Unfortunately I had to apply paraloid before desalination, because the fossil was already starting to fall apart.
