Beetle with Large Mandibles - Mallodon dasystomus

Beetle with Large Mandibles - Mallodon dasystomus
Ft. Mc Clellan, Alabama, USA
July 24, 2005
Size: 10mm - 12mm
I found this Beetle at Ft Mc Clellan and have not been able to ID it. If someone could help that would be great.

Compare:

I think
this might be some kind of Root Borer

 
ID Help Thanks
It was a toss up between the Live Oak or the HardWood but I chose the Hardwood, due to the other photo I have that shows the Thorax better but is not a good Photo.
