West central Florida find. Can someone ID this piece. I have a young neighbor that shows interest in things like this. I need a proper ID so I can note it in the small case I make for him.

I don't know for sure what it is but it reminds me of a white tail deer jawbone, which looks like this:

The size might match up to something or other. To me it has a characteristics of a deer, cow, or horse.
 

...I think it’s bovine molars. The color of those teeth are really different than what I’m use to seeing, here there always bleached white..
 

The bone part is mineralized and found in the same gravel bed as mammoth bones and teeth. I'm thinking Pleistocene but haven't matched it up yet searching photos.
 

I thought it might be Tapirus Veroensis but this pic I found makes me think the crown is all wrong.
