I found this partial tooth at Peace River and I'm having some trouble definitively IDing it. I think it may be some type of cetacean.

That’s a tough one being so partial but I’ll guess possibly a piece of tapir tooth:blink:

Every once in a great while it's not just a big rock down there!

I have nothing better than Jeff and Harry.. Not a lot of confidence in any ID, but tapir would be the right size for this one.

On the last photo, is that Cementum on the outside of root or enamel..  very odd..

I noticed the cementum like material on the tooth as well. I'm not fully convinced it is tapir, but don't feel confident labeling it anything else either.

The cementum is on the outside of the enamel and to me it looks like the crown is relatively intact and conical, just the cementum is missing on the other side.
