Wild Boar Tusk?

We found this in the gravel bed of a creek today in Grayson County, TX. I'm assuming it's a wild boar tusk.  What do you guys think? Is it most likely old or modern? Thanks for any help. :)

Yes, I think you're right 

Looks like a boar's tusk to me.

And fairly recent, I would say.

Boars tusk?!  I thought she just stumbled across one of my old toenail clippings. :wacko:

:hearty-laugh: It did cross my mind at first that it might have been some sort of talon.

Imagine, turning the corner in the stream bed and the owner of that tusk is standing there, 10 feet from you, and he's hungry............

But the owner is a "she".:P
