Jaw bone - Onion Creek TX

Recommended Posts

My husband and I found some really great fossils in Onion Creek just east of Austin, TX today. Many of the usual gastropods but also some mammalian bones including a jaw with teeth intact.

 

Welcoming any help with IDs here. Let me know what angle or side would be helpful if I failed to get the shots necessary to narrow it down. 

 

Many thanks!

It's from a cow calf.  It has 3 deciduous premolars and the permanent first molar has newly erupted and moved into battery.  Good specimen for your comparative collection.
