Found this unusual tooth at GMR

I found this unusual little guy in my screen at GMR.  I don't think it is fossilized, but I was hoping someone out there

recognized the tooth.  My guess is racoon, badger or something like that.

Thanks.

Can we get a view of the chewing surface?

I love finding these.  Usually I think that that might be peccary molars... those would be fossils.  Generally they end up to be a lower m1 domestic pig tooth ....  Hopefully yours is peccary.

Hi Ckam,

I would  say its a racoon,

Shellseeker, mind the tiny size.

there was a very similar one on the forum some time ago:
