Is it complete? it could be a fragment of a sloth, mastodon, bear, or horse tooth. Looks like it could be a juvenile horse though.
 

Yeah it's complete except for the very bottom I was thinking possibly a horse but I have yet to find one this round.
 

Maybe a large peccary? I don't know, but from my 3 or 4 hunts on the Peace River, it looks like a horse/peccary, if not a fragment of a larger animal's tooth.

We don't get much mammal material here in MD/VA.
 

I'm real bummed about the camera sorry guys.. Thank you very much for taking your time to give it a try.
Here's a couple of my horse teeth
I had a pre erupt Horsetooth that I figure is about as small as they would get and it wasn't like this.. I traded it to someone who takes part in this forum

That was me. And yeah it does slightly resemble the example you traded me
 

Kinda resembles a beaver molar also.. howdy! Haven't heard from you in a little while hope things are going well... I found these photos on paleo enterprises...
If I remember correctly that pre erupt tooth didn't even have a developed chewing surface
