What is this- warning trigger

[speakout]

I have just returned from a walk in local woods- I saw something nestled in the hollow of a tree- I thought at first it was some empty wild bird eggs, but on closer inspection not-. It looks like remnants of an animal/human? Quite large, maybe 5-6 cm wide. We are rural, so a lot of deer, foxes, badgers etc., but seems larger that that.

Looks like fungus.

Jesus, WTF is that? I'd report that just in case.

Teeeeeeeth

Looks like either deer or sheep to me.

It definitely looks like teeth

Top jaw of something? I don't think it's human as too many molars...I hope

That's the upper palate and teeth of something- looks a bit like a sheep, but too small at 6cm and not in a tree. Not fox, they have cat/dog like teeth.

No it does like teeth now. On closer inspection!

There's an awful lot of molars to be human teeth! I'd just assume weird fungus or if it's solid then animal remains.

It’s not human.

Some kind of mushroom?

It’s not human, maybe deer or other large mammal

It looks like teeth,with an upper jaw and palate. I dont think its human, but I am not a dentist!

Lamb? Or small sheep? Upper jaw, I think. Flat teeth put it as some sort of ruminant, grass eating mammal.

Some animals top jaw remains that a predator took up a tree to eat.

I zoomed in after posting and can see it now. Creepy AF though.

Yeah maybe animal remains (teeth) with fungus growing around them.

It doesn’t look like human remains, the jawbone of livestock I think.

Red deer possibly?

And it’s not human, — these are all molar type teeth, humans have incisors, canine teeth plus molars, all are different shapes.

Dentist here. Definitely not human!

Jaw of a dead herbivore - no canines

Looks like deer.

@ShinyMe It doesn’t matter that it’s in a tree hollow - that won’t be where it died. It will have been left there by a fox or a crow or something. I’ve got a few animal skulls at home and this looks like the jawbone of a sheep (or lamb) or a deer. Definitely a grazing animal.

Thanks- has put my mind at ease. I see now no canine teeth, although the incisors are missing. Freaked me a little as it is the same size as a human jaw. I live in a rural area, so lots of farm and wild animals.
