Can you take a few more pictures, some close ups of the teeth from different angles would be best.

more pics-

Looks like an opossum jaw to me. Maybe deciduous teeth of a juvenile.

Hold a match to the bone for a few seconds. If it gives off fumes like burning hair, it is not mineralized. If it is not mineralized, it may not be a fossil.

Fossil or not, it is good to have for a comparative collection.
