Potential Hadrosasaur jaw fragments (New Jersey)

Hello everyone!

 

I was hoping for opinions on this fossil I found in Monmouth County New Jersey.

 

Doing a search, I saw that it was similar to some Hadrosaur jaw sections but is very thin.

 

What does everyone think?

Interesting find but would lean against it being hadrosaurian.  Looks to thin and the alveoli grooves are at different widths, they should be similar

Any idea what ot might be? It's Extremely stream worn so it's tough. In the light, the grooves look more similar than in the pictures (looks like a lot was worn off) but yes, ot is VERY thin. Texture looked right for Dino though..

This is just a wild guess, but any chance it could be an imprint from an ammonite? I see where you would have thought hadrosaur, but like Troodon said its incredibly thin and not uniform.
