cayosusa Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Found by a friend in the Peace River. Is this a vole jaw? I know it is some kind of small mammal but never heard of it before. Each mark = 1/2", so a little less than 1 1/2". Sorry for the pic quality - best we could do at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ynot Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Can We see a picture of the grinding surface of the molars? Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough." My Fossil collection - My Mineral collection My favorite thread on TFF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin Jenkins Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Compare it to rabbit jaw bones. I found one similar to yours, not a fossil that I'm sure was rabbit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coco Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 My first thought was also the rabbit. I thus brought out a skull of current rabbit of my drawer and I compared. The incisor on yours is very long, but why not. A mandible (lower part) of current rabbit contains 5 teeth, but I see only three on yours. It misses ?

digit Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Thought it might be a muskrat but your specimen looks different.

doushantuo Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 occlusion surface of the teeth might be more informative Edit:missed Tony's reply.He's right Sciurid?(e.g.:Heliosciurus?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
