Pleistocene Mammal Jaw, ID requested

[hemipristis]

hello everyone,

 

I saw this on our favorite website.  It is a mammal jaw dredged up off of Newfoundland, Canada. It is likely Pleistocene in age.

 

The piece is approximately 12 cm in length.  It is clearly an herbivore, but doesn't look like bison, horse, camel, tapir or deer to me; however, I am still learning to ID my Pleistocene mammals.

 

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Have you looked at moose?

Gonna need a pic of the chewing surface to give any type of accurate ID.

Hmm. These were the only photos on the auction.   Can any be eliminated as possibilities with these two pics?

Not really. I’d ask for pics of the chewing surface. Where was it found?

The teeth seem most closely similar to llama/camel.  That is not to say it is Llama/Camel ,  just that it seems similar. I do not know if llama/camels existed in Pleistocene Canada.

Here is a fossil Elk jaw... that's a possibility.
