		The tooth differs from dP3 of Smilodon gracilis, an early Pleistocene species, in that it lacks a protocone and the triangular shape characteristic of a dP3 of this species (2).
		Moreover, the crown of the dP3 from Canton Lake is nearly identical in size and shape to a deciduous carnassial of Smilodon fatalis from Rancho La Brea, California, as illustrated by Merriam and Stock (4).
		The tooth is herein identified as a dP3 of Smilodon fatalis.
