Fossilized Tooth From What??

[PaleoSnow]

My co workers friend found this in North East Texas along the Red River and has asked me for help identifying it. Does anyone have any thoughts, ideas, or knowledge of what pre historic giant this belonged to??

Pretty sure its a prehistoric horse tooth.

Doesn't look fossilized. Either prehistoric horse or camel.

we find those mixed into gravel bars in central Texas, I used to think buffalo, now prehistoric horse is the consensus
They have a glass tink tink sound if you tap on it, several of my finds split in two after a few years, maybe should have Elmer's them like sharks teeth

Looks big for a horse.

this is supposed to be a fossil horse tooth.

[PaleoSnow]

My thoughts as well, but i know absolutely nothing about horses nor have i ever paid attention to their teeth.

Extinct horse forsure. Looks similar to ones I’ve found. Some are mineralized and almost fossil.

I put money on it the extinct horse. I’ve found several in north tx.

The Victorians made the mistake of lining all the horse fossils up by size, smallest on the left through to modern horses on the right, and assumed horse evolution also equalled a progressive increase in size. Unfortunately not but it's an image you see repeated. The path to the modern horse goes up and down, as does the modern horse.
