Proboscidean milk tooth from the North Sea?

[Maashagedis]

Hello, this is my first time posting here. Normally I just lurk but I think I may have found something special here.

So I was out on the Maasvlakte beach in the Netherlands today, looking for fossils. I found this tiny tooth (?). At first it didn't look like much but as it dried I started seeing a lot of signs that this might in fact be a proboscidean tooth. It is 2,8 cm/1.1 inch long. You can clearly see a layer of what I think is enamel where a piece has broken off.
It shares a lot of similarities with gomphothere and mastodon teeth. I know a few Anancus teeth have been found in the North Sea, but they are usually found further south, in the province of Zeeland.

I'm looking forward to seeing what you all think!

Welcome to the Forum.  Your find appears to be a boar tooth, Sus scrofa.

This is the domesticated pig:

Oh yeah, it does indeed look like it. I never even thought of that as an option. Thank you so much!

Well, welcome to the forum. Thanks for sharing.  I especially like you Measuring Tape... with inches and millimeters..  Do you have a manufacturer's name on it ?

Certain Stanley tapes (as well as several other brands) in the US have both.

Most home improvement store websites give you the option of filtering for metric tapes.
