We need a size for the tooth and a shot of the chewing surface from directly above the tooth. My first impression was a Sus sp. or peccary etc.  Someone will be along that recognizes it.

 

Peccary pre-molars for reference:

Again, this might be the wrong direction but here are "Tayassuid dentaries and lower teeth from the Pleistocene of Florida."

With regard to mammal material at Calvert Cliffs,  Peccary is one of the more typical animals found and it looks like one.    Nice rare find.

Thanks for the quick responses guys.

Pretty obvious now that it is Peccary (A3) from first chart. I'd bet my meg on it.
