My husband found what looks like a fragment of a jaw with a single row of very pointy and a somewhat hooked teeth not all pointing in the same direction. Though the teeth look and feel like bone, the narrow jaw portion looks and feels more like wood.
Not sure if this is some kind of plant in disguise or some kind of possible section of a jaw, possibly a fish?
I do know that this area was a lake long ago and we've found many small shells and such while digging as well.

If I can send a pic, can someone try to answer the question of what it might be?

I live in Benson, AZ (SE Arizona)

Yes, include a pic but will not be conclusive, as it is not 'in hand'.
