Hello everyone, I was in Big Brook nj for a little while today and found this interesting bone. I'm not to sure if it's identifiable but it does remind me of a jaw section like a mosasaur or croc. Any help will appreciated, if I missed an angle or need additional pictures do let me know.

It does kinda look like a jaw fragment. But it's very worn. Hard to tell what it's from.

I’m not sure you’ll be able to tell what it came from as it’s abraded. Not necessarily a jaw.

A wild guess:  the posterior end of a mosasaur articular bone.  I'm basing this on the concave surface which could be a glenoid fossa  mating the bottom of a quadrate.
