This specimen is a cast of a lower right molar from a fairly recent animal. As you may notice, the lateral view displays the high mound of this tooth, it is deeply ridged and by viewing the occlusal surface you will notice quite a few ridges of enamel. It is more than likely that this animal was Mammuthus primigenius (Woolly Mammoth).
