Definitely a mandible. But could also be from a small long nosed gar depending on location. If on the main Bay, I'd lean toward needlefish. If in a trib, then the gar.

The top pic is from an adult. Was thinking more of a juvenile, given the knife (for scale), in the OP photo. Their maxillary/mandibular shape is more similar to a needlefish than an adult.

Bone from alien boner.

You know how aliens inject eggs into your butt and paralyze you untill they hatch?

Ya, that's how.

My co-workers are looking at me wondering what's so funny.

Don't know about Doctster, but I'm against homophone abuse.

capubura or henway

Vagina dentata.

When they get older they grow teeth.

Another vote for Needlefish.........seen several before, that sure looks like it.
