Cool Finds......I like that glass insulator That one piece don't look like a jaw piece but a concretion

it looks like it could be very worn jaw bone to me.

That appears like a small worn piece of jaw bone with a couple of tooth sockets- most likely Enchodus. Excellent find, congratulations! That goblin tooth in the center is a real winner, too!

i don't think its enchodus, no tooth sockets  of this sort in the jaw.  i think reptile is more likely.  nice find!

Croc or mosasaur? That would be more exciting!

The "jaw" is not a jaw. It looks like a piece of fossilized wood because of the faint lines on the surface. The two "sockets" are holes made by burrowing clams. Also, the two holes have different depths which does not indicate jaw.

pics of 3 pieces of phosphatized wood vs 3 pieces very worn bone.  brad, which does your piece resemble more?

brad, it can sometimes  be extremely difficult to tell them apart, even after seeing 100s of similar specimens.  And it can be especially difficult from just pictures.  Bone can also be bored, and the piece is so worn that the non-uniformity of the "sockets" is quite meaningless, so don't let that affect your judgment.    I still stand by bone.  perhaps more pictures, especially of the underside would be more conclusive to everyone else. 

 

 

IMO, the first pic is the most clear evidence of bone texture.  if I just saw the third picture I might think it's a concretion. the second pic isn't that helpful but does give me a small woody vibe.

 

real nice insulator, btw!   it seems every one I find is missing a chunk.

That's a tuffy all right. Every direction you go there is a reason to turn around.

I will go with the wood group but what I find is interesting is the detail left in part of the bore hole.

That would be a fun challenge to find the perpetrator.
