Need help identifying this tooth.

[Chrisaurus]

I'm stumped on this one. I found this over the weekend while hunting in the Peace River in Southwest Florida. It looks like a horse tooth, yet it's too small/thin to be? (was thinking maybe it's just a fragment of a horse tooth, not sure how common that is though?). Or possibly a juvenile ground sloth tooth? I'm fairly new to fossil hunting so I'm still trying to learn in regards to the rarer finds.

You are thinking correctly - likely a fragment of a horse tooth - not all that uncommon.  I have seen them on/in the ground shattered along the length of the tooth into 6-12 fragments.
