Big Tooth From Az

Hello, can anyone help ID this tooth? It has a limestone matrix and was found in the desert in Southern Arizona. Any thoughts on it would be appreciated.

Upper molar of a horse. Rather small. Can't make much of the occlusal pattern. Could be anything from Hemphillian to Rancholabrean 5 million years to 10,000 years ago. I'd need to see it to know for sure. That isn't limestone matrix, it is the natural cementum from the horse tooth.

The plural of "anecdote" is not "evidence".
