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.
