Found this jaw bone under the pier today near Vancouver British Columbia (temperate waters). It is 4 - 5" long. My guess is a juvenile seal. Any other ideas?

I'm going to slip it in your drysuit next time just before I zip you up.

Ouch... really now my theory is that its part of some crab fisherman's bait that he got from a butcher... or it was the butcher using leftovers for fishing for crabs. You've seen all the crap we've collected underneath that dock and all the people fishing from it. I'm thinking lamb or pig, that's my theory.

That's a good point John.
I don't think it would be a herbivore as the teeth all seem to be for cutting not grinding but a pig.. may be. I have scrolled through a lot of skull shots for this one so far. In between each tooth is a hole which may be for secondary teeth (small circular).
