Ondatra sp. Muskrat mandible
My first mandible with teeth. Complete incisor with nice colors.
I labeled it as Ondatra sp. since differences between zibethicus and cinnamonius teeth/mandibles are basically nonexistent.
Molar pattern on Muskrat molars are very similar to Meadow Vole molars. However, Muskrats are much larger than meadow voles, so Meadow Vole teeth/mandibles will be much smaller than muskrat.
Here is a close up picture of the molar on this specimen:
