Sorry, second post from the same deposit, Bidahochi gravel float, maybe 5 Ma or Triassic, northeastern Arizona.  The jaw bone might be recent…?

 

Any help appreciated!

nice finds. Yes, I would agree, the jaw bone seems to be from a modern mammal

Might be the long bone, too, not easy to decide

Agreed, the jaw does look modern.

The jaw is rabbit.  Looks modern but I don't know what the 5 million year old stuff from here looks like.

I think these are all subfossil and probably strictly modern. The second fossil might be the exception, but it's hard to make out what precisely it is aside from being a mammal.

It's definitely a Rodentia member, just not sure what it is.
