Hi! I found this small beauty at a beach in Savannah River.

 

Any input is appreciated.

 

Thanks for checking it out!

It resembles, but is too small to be a left, lower p2 from a tapir.  (Only the dimensions of the crown are useful.)

Thank you so much! Thats amazing never thought it could be a tapir because of the size!

OOPS!  I wasn't paying attention to the dimensions.  It's too small for tapir.  I think it is a rodent, probably Sigmodon.

Isn't this a lower m1 of a raccoon?

Thanks! It definetly looks like a lower m1 of a racoon. Just compared it with a non fossiled one that I have and its the exact same size.

 

Thank you everyone
