Oligocene mammal tooth, MS

[-AnThOnY-]

1/2 cm long mammal tooth found in some material from a creek in East central Mississippi. This creek produces a ton of vertebrate material from sharks, crocs, dugong etc...and some land mammals.

 

Crazy small tooth, any thoughts?

Not an expert, but mouse or other tiny rodent molar?

Got a response from someone else right after posting saying some type of small beaver

Thanks for lightening them up, Tim.  I see a rodent for sure but cannot say more than that.  Always good to find a land mammal amongst the sharks of the Miocene.

looks like beaver
