old bones Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 I recently found this nice, if toothless mandible on a S.C. beach. I spent some time trying to compare it with other examples, but am left guessing. It does not compare well with the skunk jawbone that I do have. The alveoli do not line up, so I am wondering about raccoon or opossum ... any help would be appreciated. Thanks for looking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shellseeker Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Well, I have this canis edwardi , a small Pleistocene wolf. Note that this fragment is smaller than yours... I think canis latrans may be in the range of this jaw..

Thanks so much for chiming in Jack. I wonder if @Harry Pristis has any ideas on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
