Would anybody be able to identify the species of this horse tooth? Three toed? Two Toed? I don't know anything about it. It was given to me with some other Miocene fossils. It measures 2.5 inches long.

I found this perissodactyl astragalus on the Brazos River near Houston several months ago now. But after finding other fossil astragali that are similar, but much larger, from horses, I've started to question my initial identification of the small one as just another Equus sp. After finding some pictures online and comparing them with what I have, I'm starting to think that this astragalus might be from a three-toed horse, but what species I don't know. Texas was home to Nannippus, Calippus, and Cormohipparion during the latter half of the Cenozoic, but did any of the three-toed horses like these survive into the Pleistocene? I'm only asking because the formation I'm hunting is the Beaumont Clay, which is firmly in the Pleistocene range, and that would make the three-toed horse ID a little shaky. Anyone able to help me out?

I know these teeth are very difficult to identify. Based on its size I believe it is a lower tooth from a three toed horse. The crown is about 15.8mm. @Shellseeker @Harry Pristis

Just cleaned up this tooth from my hunt the other day on the Brazos. I had thought it was a small equus tooth, there is definitely an isolated protocone. I know some of you like @Shellseeker and @Harry Pristisare pretty good at comparing these teeth to each other. I can look at them all day and they just start looking the same. Any ideas? Also, I've seen some line drawings before on line that compared many of these horses all on one page, but can't locate it any more. The only ones I can find now are not very clear. Does anyone have something like that they'd care to share?
