Nannippus peninsulatus

Nannippus peninsulatus Upper left Cheek Tooth, Peace River Formation, 8.7 mya, Peace River tributary creek, 11x15x49 mm broken in length, March 9th, 2015

Tentative identification as westoni due to 2 other web identifications that closely match this pattern more than other Nannippus options.

UPDATE: Richard Hulbert just told me that the tooth in question is Nannippus peninsulatus not Nannippus westoni.

Corrections made.
