Peace River rodent jaw

Hello all,

I found this rodent jaw near Wauchula in the Peace River last Winter. I finally sat down with some books and I believe it is pocket gopher of the genus Orthogeomys, can anybody confirm the genus or add a species? 
Thank for you any help!

 

The photo reference is O. propinetis, late Pliocene found in Citrus County from the book The Fossil Vertebrates of Florida by Richard C Hulbert Jr.
