Hello Werner

The jaw seems to be a dog jaw. Look at the link for a modern jaw of a dog. I also don't know if it i a fossil, because the teeth still have their white colour. If it was a fossil you should expect a discolouring due to minerals in the soil.

Werner,

In Brussels in the Natural History museum, where they have a collection of Pleistocene mammals, all the teeth have an off-white colour, but not bright white.

Hi Werner,

I am not sure if the jaw is from a dog.
By the look of it, short & bent jaw with very pointy teeth. I rather thinking about a cat species.

Check out the below site on carnivores:
http://www.archeozoo.org/albums/index.php?lang=dutch

The bone is what I think a Bird Humerus.
Species can maybe determined by Hanneke Meijer or Eric Wijnker.


When you have eliminated the impossible, that which remains, however improbable, must be the truth.

Once you've got heat, you can do everything!

Werner,

Their is a link somewhere in the determinationforum topics, to an educational center in Africa, with recent bones of many species, do not know where exactly. Maybe a year old discussion.

You might be right,I had a look at the link, my dutch is no good:-) but I saw a jaw of a Pantera leo that looks very similar to the one I found,not the size of course;-).

Thanks a lot
Werner
