Jawbone pic's human or animal?

I usually hunt alone and in the backcountry so was being very cautious around this site. The hole below the jawbone is left from where the portal of an abandoned hard rock mine has been blasted shut some years ago. I pitched a few stones down and they go quite a ways. Result..this is as close as I could get to the bone without risking a slide down. It's an unusual place for a deer jaw and there are no other bones around. Care to venture an opinion anyone?

looks animal to me but if you can reach it with a pole to destroy it --you can just as easily save it ----tie the line end to the tip of the pole --thenusing a fence u nail made a "grasping loop" like a snake snatchers "snare" loop end by running the line thru it and back to the far end --use it to snag the jaw bone--- once in hand you can then figger out what it really is --if a person then of course do not destroy it --it could be someones missing loved one.

The rear teeth are too sharp to be human. Human molars are wider and flattop. Those in the picture are slim and pointed. Maybe a canine. (dog or wolf)
