Tiny Fossilized jaw of a mammal?

[Het]

Have I found a tiny fossilized mammal jaw? Found from the gulf of kutch(65-2 mya) late cretaceous-tertiary. It was found in a creek .

Sorry. This actually doesn't look like fossil bone to me.

Thats interesting.  The shape doesnt say "jaw" to me, but those spots could possibly be tooth sockets.  Need some clear shots of it from top, bottom, front, back and sides

Not sure what the holes are, but it is not a mammal jaw.  No bone texture t it, and the shape is similar to a mammal jaw, but not quite right.

Here are more images and you were right the spots does resembles some tooth like sockets if you compare them both carefully side by side.

It's still just a stream-worn pebble.

The mistake in interpreting the texture is more understandable now. My first reaction to the top photo here was 'that's a cinder block'. I think a closer look would show that this bone is too a different texture.

Yup. Not a fossil.

[Het]

Whatever the conclusion would be at least thanks for immediate responses.

Try taking some photos in natural light.

@Het I mean the example needs a closer look. The resolution that I can see is not really the best example of bone texture.

I'm probably the least experienced/knowledgeable on here, but I don't see jaw either. To my eye, the size of what would be tooth sockets seem to be a backward for most mammal jaws I've seen. If the thickest section is the rear mandible, as it should be, this has the larger teeth, molars, in the front, which would be weird. Again, take my opinion with the grain required for my low level of expertise. I'm learning a little at at time, and time's a runnin' faster than my comprehension. Cheers.
