Found in Summerville SC creek. Is it modern or fossil and who does it belong to? It's 5 1/4 inches long and probably oligocene if it's a fossil. Thanks for looking.

I think that 'Foshunter' is correct . . . Sus scrofa.

Compare your find with the jaw in this Gallery image:

Thanks you guys, my first piggy find. Now, how can I tell if it's a fossil or if it's modern?

It can be no older than European settlement.

Thanks again everyone. Even though it's not a fossil, it's still pretty neat.
