Tooth almost looks like a manatee, buy I am not familiar with it in STH fauna. Maybe a tooth position from Allodesmus I'm not familiar with? I can post more pics. if it will help.

I'm not really sure, it's small, could be seal, or some kind of small land mammal.

Do seals have molars? It looks to be a molar tooth. Do you have any seal material to compare it with?

Are you away fossil hunting? Or visiting for the Holidays?

Do you have a Dugongid in that fauna, Ken? Your tooth reminds me of a dugong molar.

Yes, after looking over the STH fauna list presented by the Buena Vista Museum of Natural History, they list: order Sirenia, family Dugongidae Metaxytherium cf. I'll have to look into this further. Thanks for your help.
