Strange Fossilized Tooth. What is it?

[gheenoe78]

Found today in coastal SC near Charleston. Never seen anything like it. Kindof looks like a human front tooth? Any ideas or a positive ID?

Your tooth is cow or bison related. At least that what it looks like.

Looks like a claw to me......never mind, I was look in at it upside down

Upper left incisor, don’t know about soils in Charleston but a lot of places black = Pleistocene. If it is that old could be bison, deer

Animals that eat plants don't have pointed teeth. That's either a claw or a tooth from a meat eater. Gary

The pointed part is the root, being round makes it likely an upper tooth the ones in the jaw tend to be flattened because space is limited. The shovel shape is typical of an incisor or front teeth. I’d say likely not a carnivore although not impossible

Looks old fossilized. What's the dimensions?

 

[Tony in SC]

The blackened teeth found on SC beaches can be millions of years old. We have a place where we hunt Megladon teeth. I've never seen anything like that. I would say incisor for a plant eater? By the way, what size is it

Thanks everyone. It's about an inch long maybe 1/3 inches wide. We find shark teeth and vertibrae a lot here but I'd never seen one like this. Thanks for the help.
