Found possible giant tooth washing up on the beach

[Cornpop]

I found this grapefruit sized (possibly tooth) getting washed up in the surf in Georgetown, South Carolina, USA.

I have found what I believe to be Pleistocene Horse & Bison teeth on the same beach.

Any help identifying it would be greatly appreciated.

I'd vote proboscidean but it's pretty battered. Leaning toward mammoth with the way this photo below looks but I think the occlusial (chewing) surface appears to be gone and whats left behind is from closer to the roots.

Nope,  that is the end of a Mammal tooth... a little dinged but probably 3 or 4  of the narrow plates...
