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.

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:

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.

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
