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.

Thanks for you helpPatrick,I think you are right.

Take care

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.

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.
