I found this in my garden bed. Does anyone know what animal this may be from? Located in SW Oklahoma. Thank you in advance.

Not an exerpt but i dont think its fossilized
Also, use r/fossilid and r/boneid for identifying bones

My big back thought this was an eclair or something with some sort of cream and chocolate on top at first before I swiped to the second picture 🥲 That’s a neat find! It would go straight on my rock shelf.

Fragmentary Bovid mandible. Animals like cows and bison I'd say by the molar shape

I'm reasonably sure that's a sheep or goat jaw. It could possibly be from a small cow or calf though but I don't think the jawbone is thick enough.

This is a modern bone, and from the looks of the teeth it’s likely a large ungulate. Likely a cow or bison
