Wow, that is a great fossil jaw and with teeth!
It would help with identification if you included a shot looking down at the tops of the teeth. I would guess by the shape from the side that this is a grazing animal. It would be helpful if you have any clue about the geologic period the strata or sediments that you found it in are indicated or known.

With a near 100% certainty a left lower jaw of a domestic cow.
Bos taurus.


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

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