Proboscidea tooth

A first for me and the most beautiful tooth I’ve ever found! Pretty excited about this one. Obviously not an expert here but I think I’ve got it narrowed down to juvenile mastodon.  Hopefully I can get a positive ID from the experts! Miocene, south central SD.

I believe M. Americanum is the only mastodon species in the area but I could be wrong. In any case definitely a mastodon partial! Fantastic find! Really killer color on that one!

Thanks! I guess that puts this more into the Pleistocene Epoch rather than the Miocene.
