Antilocapridae tooth from middle Pliocene?

Hi all,

 

I recently found this tooth in a formation dated to the middle Pliocene in Nevada. I believe it belongs to Antilocapridae, possibly a pronghorn. I’m looking to see if any one on here is familiar with western fauna of this period and could give me some more insight. 
 

thanks in advance!

What else have you found there?  My first thought was that it's a goat tooth but it could be antelope.  This is a job for Larry.

Well so far this site turned up this and some sort of carnivore metapodial that I have posted on here. Lots of bone material but nothing identifiable other than those two things-we’ve only had a chance to search maybe 2 hrs at the site.
