Nimravid! But which one?

[Kiros]

Hi guys! 

Recently I got in a trade this nimravid mandible from the white river formation in Shannon County. Now I want to ask your help to determine the genus, if possible. Being incomplete and missing all the teeth it's quite difficult but it has a quite elongate mandible flange and by the number of the alveoli it had three teeth. I think it can be Hoplophoneus, what do you think about it?

I found a similar one in Wyoming this summer. Apparently the depth of their chin can determine genus. Yours seems relatively deep, which may indicate Hoplophoneus, while my own may be Dinictis.

A: Daphoenus

Nice, thank you for the help, you found a great piece in great condition (much better than mine!)

Thanks! I was definitely happy to find it, though I wish it's teeth were still there.

Must be a common occurrence, also mine need a good dentist
