Can anyone identify this tooth? I found it in a creek here in southwest Mississippi. I find a lot of mastodon parts, but this unusual. I am new here. It is incased in dry hard clay.

Nice tooth!

I think it's Tapir.

Were tapirs even found in missispi?

Quick browse through google seems to say they were throughout the American south during the Pleistocene. I know Florida for a fact already.

Would definitely wait for a second opinion just to be safe.

Can confirm - Tapirs were found in Mississippi, and that does look like a Tapir tooth in matrix!

Fossils? I dig it. :meg:
