I have a tooth given to me by grandfather - always told it was a camel tooth from Mespotamia [he was there on way to India in WW1] but realise it looks like no camel tooth I can find. Now also realise it is mineralised so probably a fossil of a recent large herbivore.  Any ideas??

Looks like an elephantid tooth - possibly mammoth.

Probably a tooth lost to wear. It looks like it was nearly worn out when the animal lost it.
