Downloaded from Facebook. This tooth was found alone the banks of the Mississippi river. Is it just a very worn cow m3? I don't know if any other ungulate would have a stylid? It just seems oddly shaped for cow/bison to me.

I think Stylids may only exist in Bison and modern cows.  You should provide the length of the chewing surface... Bison are a lot bigger than cows
