Any ideas? Horn?

Good afternoon,

I found this in the Mississippi River this afternoon along side a rock dike. The river is hitting record lows and people are flooding to the rock dikes to look for fossils. The tip was broken off when I was trying to get it loose between 2 large rocks. Feel sick about it but at least we got it out after 45 mins! Thanks in advance

Maybe a tip of a mammoth/mastodon tusk? Nice find!

I'm no expert...but that sure fits the size and appearence of a possible fossilized Saber toothed tiger tooth....I think I'd make the effort to contact a decent paleontologist for a more definitive answer...
