A friend of mine asked me to try and help her identify this fossil.

 

It is clearly a piece of a jaw bone with 3 teeth still visible. 

 

It has been in her family for some time so no knowledge of origin location. But they have resided in Utah for many generations so I assume it was going within the state.received_10155760806704227.thumb.jpeg.cd2217c0182aea737c34cba0b4676bdd.jpeg

Welcome to the forum.  It would be particularly helpful if you could post a picture looking straight down on the chewing surface of the teeth.

I’m sure some with some better ideas will come along but I can say it’s a omnivorous or herbivorous mammal, not equuid or bovid I think, nor rodent (of course).

Happy hunting,

That's the closest to looking straight down in it that I've got currently.
