Steve can confirm, but I believe that object is half of an unworn, tapir upper molar.

There appears to be a well-worn, tapir lower premolar just below the oppossum jaw in a subsequent image.

Interesting group of fossils, Steve. I especially like the bear canine.

The two parietals(?) from the alligator gars . . . are they fossil or modern? We don't get those here in Florida.
