I am trying to find out if this herbivore tooth is fossilized or not, and what animal it is from. It was found on a sandy beach in Gloucester, MA. Any ID help would be appreciated. If it is old or fossilized, wouldn't it be more worn down? I'm not that familiar with horses, if that's what it is. Tooth is wet in one photo. Thanks in advance!

Ok, thanks. I just wish I could figure out how it ended up in Gloucester Harbor in recent times.

Recent as in the last 200 years? Teeth hold up fairly well to weathering.

Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!
