    Probably a Coyote jawbone.

    The right side which is broken off is the front, the hinge is missing from the rear side on the left.

    Check to the left of that compound molar (biggest tooth), if there is only one molar it’s a coyote. If there is a molar and a hole for a second molar it’s a Fox.

      You have an impressive knowledge of the dental arrangement of several carnivores. Are you perhaps a wolf dentist by profession?

        No I’m a woods-type autist. I have a +2 buff for outdoors knowledge and working with my hands.

    Raccoon or Possum?

    Complete guess, I’m a software engineer.

        I’m sure they would have dealt with bugs, while alive.

        Unless we’ve taught rodents how to code, I don’t think so.

      We have a lot of Red Foxes in this area, that is my guess.

    How big are they, where did you find them, and why did you bring them home?

      About 2-3 inches. Found by the side of the road in Northern Virginia. I am not the one who bought them home, so I cannot comment on motivation.
