Tooth, Claw, or Tusk??

We found this piece in our creek located in Licking County, Ohio. We’ve been wondering what it was from for a several years now and have never found the answer. 
 

it is very light weight. 
 

Hopefully someone here can assist us!

Hi there,

 

This looks like a horse incisor.  This example for comparison is a fossil from Florida. (different tooth position)

I'm no expert but it's also very similar to boar teeth I've found before on Roman sites. I'll see if I can find them and post a pic or two for comparison
