Irish elk premolar? Please help to confirm

[D.N.FossilmanLithuania]

Dear Guys, 

 

Yesterday I found one premolar tooth that is 1,7 cm width and 3,5 cm length with root. The tooth was found in the sand dune layers of Varena town, South Lithuania (it is the Baltic States, Eastern Europe).  Judging by flattened end and the vertically twisted relief of tooth I would think that the most possible should be Irish elk because the premolar teeth in its lower jaw looks almost the same. 

Please confirm this find or suggest your ideas, any help will be appreciated!

 

Best Regards

I suggest to make exact measurements on the tooth in question (as shown in the document below) and compare the data with the ones from the afferent diagrams.

Dear abyssunder,

 

Thank you very much for document link, the measurements of the tooth found and shape of it is really Megaloceros like! I would think maybe I also have 1st digit phalange (the longest foot bone) of Megalocerid and I found it about 1 year ago...
