Small Jaw with teeth, from Alberta

Hi everyone!

We had a successful first trip out to the Alberta badlands this year. We usually go to the Horseshoe Canyon formation, so this trip was our first time in the Dinosaur Park formation! The best find of the day is this tiny jaw my son found. It still has one tooth in it and the roots are still visible! We have a few ideas on what it could be, but we are not sure. Any ideas on what it could be from? Sorry if the picture quality is bad, the fossil is quite small. I will try and get better pictures of it and upload them as well.
