Identify the mystery animal!

[semperfiona]

Tammie, Rosa and I went down to the loch to feed the ducks with Roger and Hunter. While walking around on the muddy shore, we found a jawbone full of very odd teeth. None of us can figure out what animal it was.







We also found most of the skeleton of a large fish--rib bones nearly six inches long. The suggestion was made (and it seems likely) that it's actually someone's grilled salmon dinner, thrown off the deck into the lake at some point in the past.

Those are very strange looking teeth. What lake were you at?

You might want to take it to a local natural history museum. My best guess is shark, but the teeth are so strange.

The "lake" in our subdivision. It's really a large manmade pond--if it were full it would be about four acres in size and the area where we were walking would have been underwater. (They're draining it in order to dredge out the bottom.)

Ashe says it's a carp.
