Anyone have an idea what this partial skull and jaw are from? Found them today near Ontario Peak.

Deer and sheep mandibles look very much like that.

I thought it was a little small for that, but looking at some pictures it looks like you are right, maybe it was a juvenile or something.

Just for fun here is a partial sheep skull I found in West Fork Bear Creek. I want to add one to my small collection of nature-y stuff but it was too incomplete to be worth it.
