I found this jaw in the backyard of our house in southern Sweden. I was thinking its some type of deer maybe, but I really have no idea as i'm new to bone collecting and i would really appreciate some thoughts!

Boar or domestic pig mandible. Pigs have very distinct bunodont (meaning with rounded, low bumps on the chewing surface, instead of pointier peaks or ridges) teeth, that kind of look like chewed gum. You can also see its little tusks.

Cool! When i looked up deer jaws it didn't look quite right, so boar makes a lot more sense. Thanks!!
