Crocodilian Jaw id

[MrBones]

Hello! My mother found this crocodilian jawbone a while ago, and I was wondering if any of you could identify which species it belongs to. It comes from the Miocene of Ruwais, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

An articular but very hard to id the species.

I see, would identifying the teeth be more possible? I have found numerous.

 

 

There is also a small jaw fragment in this picture, from the document you sent, I assume it's from Ikanogavialis, or something similar.
