• Bone is from Chandler Bridge formation in Ridgeville, South Carolina. One end is partially closed over, like a node of bamboo (left panel in top image). • tooth is from Drum Island in Charleston Harbor, South Carolina. Seems to match some internet images annotated as juvenile ground sloth tooth. I'm not sure if either end is the chewing surface. Possibly the surface shown in the bottom-right two images of lower image. Thanks for any thoughts.

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone had any of these fossils they’d trade? - Eremotherium, I’m mainly looking for partial teeth, but I’d be open to more complete ones also. - Megalonyx. I’m looking for colorful teeth from this species, larger teeth (2 1/2”+), or Caniniform. - Paramylodon. Would love some larger (2 1/2”+) and/or colorful teeth of this species. I would also be interested in claws or the rarer species of sloth (I.e; Glossotherium, Megatherium, etc.), but I don’t know I could give enough value to get one of those. It highly depends on what you’d w

Many paleoburrows have been found in South America and are believed to have been excavated by ground sloths. That being the case has anybody heard of any of these paleoburrows in North America? I understand that a good number of ground sloth remain have been discovered in caves in North America. Is it possible that some of these caves are misidentified burrows? From what I can gather the majority of the paleoburrows in South America are found in hillsides close to water. Has anybody seen a site in North America that contained ground sloth remains and could be interpreted as one of these burro

So I found these fossil toe (possibly hand) bones at an antique store, they're allegedly the toe bones from a ground sloth, unfortunately there is no location for these specimens, while my instinct tells me they're from around the area; Florida, with no documentation I'm not sure. They were very lowly priced so even if they can't be ID'd I figured I might as well buy them, any ideas? Specimen 1 Specimen 2 (Note the blue mark was just an eraser shaving, my bad!)

Hello Everyone, My treks to the river total 3 now and it is definitely a hit or miss sort of journey. This is a very worn phalanx of some sort ? Sloth possibly ... ? I'm not sure it's just a wild guess based on what I have seen before and online. @Harry Pristis @Shellseeker My mammal id's are not comparable to those of my South Florida fossil hunter masters. I apologize ahead of time these images are not my usual standard. The bones were in a fresh water soak and were still drying .... Size: 3 inches Long -- 1.5 inches wide

Hi all, Came across this, and thought it might interest a few of you: http://interestingengineering.com/these-impressive-tunnels-were-dug-by-ancient-giant-sloths/ Those ground sloths are really my favorite, they're gigantic but still have a cute/gentle look. And they're architectural masters too. Max

Unknown fossil of part of skull (possible Ground Sloth?) from Bolivia
Vincent Vos posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hi, I just signed in on fossilforum to see whether anybody is able to help me ID the fossil in the picture. Although I´ve read the guidelines on posting pics I'm afraid I can't offer any better pictures since the fossil in question is not in my posession and I was only able to take the picture attached. I did some checking on the internet, and my (very not expert) guess is it might be the upper jaw (part of skull) of some kind of ground sloth. The fossil was dragged up from the Orthon River in the northern Amazon of Bolivia, while dragging for gold. Apparently at the time they also found oth
