Is this a chunk of mastodon tooth?

My wife found this yesterday at Myrtle Beach, SC. I'm thinking maybe a broken off piece of mastodon. What do folks think?

Thanks jcbshark!

My wife is pretty excited by this find even if it is just a chunk. (Me too)  Someone found a decent portion of one at Myrtle earlier this year. Before that we didn't think it was a real possibility.

Much darker than the ones I find in Northeast Texas but I think it is.
