Entelodont Incisor?

[PaleoNoel]

Hi everyone! I wanted to get some opinions on this tooth I found in Wyoming's White River formation back in 2020. While I was initially unsure of what it could be, over the last few years I have been of the belief that it was a somewhat worn incisor from an entelodont (Archaeotherium mortoni). The deeply rooted tooth is ~4 cm long and ~1.5 cm at its widest point. Any input would be appreciated.

I think you are on the right path, it appears to be Entelodont to me.  I'm not sure you could define the species from a single incisor but it's a probable guess.

For comparison I found this in Nebraska and was told it is an Entelodont.

Entelodont for sure, but its the canine, rather than the incisor.

 

A few images from a cast I have.

Thanks for your help! I seems to compare quite well.

The polished area at the base of the crown is speculated to be from uprooting resistant roots.   For comparison:

That's really cool, I don't think I've ever seen entelodont material from Florida!
