Is this a mastodon tooth?

Hello to all this is my first post, my friend found this tooth in his fathers basement( his father was a farmer)  and it was presumably found on the property that is all I know. I thought it was a moose tooth or something like that but I am far from an expert and I would like some options.

I believe this is the end of a Artiodactyl tibia (bovine?). It looks like it came off a still growing animal and the growth plate hadn't sealed.

That's an epiphysis from the distal end of a tibia I think.

My first thought as well (glad I was on right track)
