The tooth is an upper canine.
Coryphodon is part of the earliest group of large herbivorous (plant eating) mammals. This animal stood 1 m (3.3 ft) tall at the shoulders, weighed around 500kg (1100 lb), and resembled a small hippopotamus. Tusks in the lower jaw were likely used for rooting up plants, but could have also been used for display as males have larger tusks.
