Pleistocene Tooth From North Carolina

Can anyone give an identification? Is it cervid? If so, is it too large for a deer tooth? Possibly elk?

It's too high-crowned for a deer (cervid) tooth, I'd say it's part (about half) of a lt. Pleistocene bison lower molar.

Reusing one of Harry's photos: I think bison is the most likely, but as many are likely to say, you can not differentiate bison from cow using a single tooth. It looks fossilized and if so, must be boson.
