Hi everyone, glad to find this site. I'll try not to overload it with id help. Tried uploading a pic several times with on success, so I am including a link to where I have some pics. I found this the other week while fossil hunting in the cape fear river last week. Thanks for all of your help http://www.flickr.com/photos/24246206@N05/

So just courious, does this have everyone stumped or should I get better pics?
Thanks Brad
Better lightimg and pics from different angles might help, especially a top view.
Looks like it could be a peccary molar. See if you can get a well lit close-up of the chewing surface.

Brad, I think one of the more common land mammals found with marine fossils is peccary for some reason. Take a look at a piece of peccary jaw with teeth I found a few years ago at Calvert CLiffs: http://www.ecphora.net/mgs/gallery05.htm (scroll down about half way). The posterior molar in that piece of jaw has three roots I believe and kinda resembles your tooth.
Daryl.
Thanks for the info. I'm leaning toward the peccary for now. Will do some more research.
