Juvenile Mastodon Partial Tooth

I bought this tooth fragment last year. It was advertised as a partial juvenile mastodon tooth, but I honestly have no idea if that's correct. I hardly spent anything on it so it's not a huge deal if it's something else entirely. Thoughts?

Yup. Looks like a complete root lobe and a partial cusp. You can see the white band of enamel in cross section at the top of the tooth. Given the size I'd agree with "juvenile" as well. Not a very complete specimen but quite an unusual one. Nice addition to your collection. ;)

 

 

Cheers.

I agree with digit. I have a couple of juvenile mastodon teeth and yours looks like the root and part of a lobe or hump of the enamel tooth.
