It's a proboscidean tooth of some kind. I'm thinking gomphothere (an extinct four-tusker fellow that lived about 13.6 to 3.6 million years ago), but not absolutely certain. Excellent specimen, indeed.

It's a fossil tooth - most likely from a extinct species of "mammoth" or "mastodon". It doesn't look like from one in the USA though. Take good care of it!
UPDATE: My Hubby the fossil expert said it is a MASTADON tooth.
