Found this tooth in Lake Michigan. Not sure what animal is it from. Horse?

Looks like a horse tooth to me although I'm not an expert on terrestrial mammals. So dont take my word and wait until and actual expert confirms this.

If you're a fossil nut from Palos Verdes, San Pedro, Redondo Beach, or Torrance, feel free to shoot me a PM!

Welcome to The Fossil Forum!

 

Definitely a horse lower cheek tooth.  As for age...it appears to be Equus  sp. which would make it Pleistocene ('Ice Age') or modern.  Unfortunately, without specific data on the stratigraphy of the collecting locality, there is no telling which of the two (Pleistocene or modern) it is.
