Hi, @Donna-Driver! Where was this found? That can help us figure out how old it is!
Hi Sam, I actually sent a picture to the Museum of the Rockies and got this reply…
…She confirmed it is a partial lower jaw to an extinct mammal known as an oreodont.
They were a successful line of mammals that lived from about 35 to 5 million years ago. They were fairly common here in the west. They were kind of like a cross between a pig and a sheep.
Here is a wiki link for more info https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merycoidodontoidea
