Since the river has been going down, I've been wanting to go out for a long while to check the newly exposed gravel. Finally got a chance and felt up to it a little while before dark yesterday and found a few things. Sandy gravel matrix with Pleistocene and possible Miocene in southeast Texas. I'm thinking this is a medial phalanx from a giant Sloth. Can anyone confirm?

Hi guys. I found this large and pretty complete bone in a sandy gravel bar, Southeast Texas. Mostly Pleistocene here with less common Miocene-Pliocene. The size and odd shape made me lean toward proboscidean metapodial, but I looked in my Olsen book and had a hard time figuring out a match. Maybe mastodon astragalus? Or am I barking up the wrong tree entirely? Not much I can think of that would be asymmetrical and this robust. @JohnJ @garyc @darrow @Lorne Ledger @Harry Pristis @Shellseeker
