In NJ for the next couple of days on business and able to make a side trip to Big Brook today. Among the usual shark teeth, I found this mammalian tooth. It most closely matches some photos of Pleistocene age beaver teeth that have been found. Is that what it is most likely or could it be another mammal? Apologies for the photo quality, I'm still on the road and did my best.

certainly a rodent tooth.  Harry just posted(today)  a beaver jaw with molars in a separate post.
