It might be a partial molar of a senile Mammut americanum. :)

How would you tell if it's senile?

"Senile" meaning, in this case, decrepitly old (not the neurologic condition).

Cthulhu2...you can tell by the fact that the cusps on the molar are worn down almost all the way to the base of the tooth.

Oh wow, I thought the missing crown was from wear! Never knew that the molar actually wore down that much!
