      Only part of the photo is in focus, but it looks like the preserved jaws of probably a mammal, which is awesome and possibly valuable. Where did you find it?

      @walter-maurow This comes from the White River, Brule, or Chadron formation of the Badlands region of the US and dates to the Oligocene ~30 million years ago. Nice fossil! It is actually upside down in this picture, if we could see more angles I might be able to ID what type of mammal. One of the most common is an extinct oreodont called Merycoidodon culbertensis. They looked pig-like but are actually more closely related to camels.
