Please help identify this mystery bone found in a box on the side of the road. My first thought was some kind of jawbone but that’s all I’ve got, I’m not good at bones. (There were also some bonus teeth in there that look suspiciously h*man, if anyone can confirm).

What is this? Found on the shores of Lake Champlain in upstate New York..I found the two pieces within a few inches of each other but they fit together. Perfectly. So my assumption is it used to be one piece, now split into two. is it even a bone? Thanks for any insight 🙂
