Clearly a theropod maxilla, based on tooth count and size most likely T. rex. A maxilla yes, but not T.rex |

It could be Torvosaurus, but there's no maxilla with that many preserved teeth referred to it.

Possible tarbosaurus?

Ceratosaurus!
That explains the long teeth and anterior concavity, why didn’t I think of that?

 This one I’m actually not 100% sure about myself (not a mammal expert) because I found it in the forest, but I’ve got a strong tendency towards one particular animal. So if someone could come up an alternative or confirm my hypothesis that would be great. |

Nor am I, but to my it looks like some sort of swine, perhaps wild boar? Very reminiscent of sus..

^I agree. Also, it kind of looks like it has a very small tusk coming out of it.

The shape of the lower temporal bar, the orbit, nutrient foramen and teeth all seem consistent. The strange thing tough, afaik there are no wild boar where I live. |

Perhaps an escaped animal, or maybe invasive?

True, the animals could have escaped from a reserve, but it’s unlikely (there were 1.5 skulls and 4 mandibular rami, and nothing else). And boar would actually be a native species here, so if there still were wild ones they wouldn’t be considered invasive.
Most likely I think it’s some variety of domestic pig that has a long snout, possibly further pronounced by young age, and that the former owner dumbed the head where I found it…

Looks like a swine to me.
