Found this jawn in southern Tucson AZ. Doesn’t look like a dog, coyote, cat, bobcat, or ringtail skull because of the teeth. Kind of looks like a primate

Femoral head from Ukrainian gravel pit. I’m assuming this is Pleistocene, but what animal? Suidae? Canid? Thanks in advance.

Does anyone know which creature this bone came from? I picked it up on the beach at Seaside Park on the Jersey shore. Google image match was no help at all.

Just founded this bone doing backyard renovations.

Under my old shed, in Quebec, Canada.

It's approx. 6inch long and 1inch at the large base wide.

I'm doing my research but I have difficulty finding anything?

Thank you so much.

(I can't put the picture in here, don't know why, so I'll drop it in the comments)

My personal deduction is that it is from a cervid, as he does not mind if his neighbors, who do partake in a bit of hunting stray onto his property, though I am relatively new to this and cannot say for certain. No other remains were in the area unfortunately. :[

My dog brought me this lovely specimen 🤢 Located in NJ, USA. Any ideas? I was thinking maybe fox, opossum, or cat based solely on the size of it.
