Giant ground sloth ungual?

[Notidanodon]

I had no idea what this one was, probably just a scrap of bone but worth checking I think, sorry for lack of scale but it’s around 14 cm long it’s from STH (also I havent fully prepped it yet as I want to know whether to get someone with air tools to do it or do it myself)

That doesn't look anything like bone from STH. Plus it definitely wouldn't be sloth from that location.

If anything it would be more likely cetacean.

Where did you obtain it?

[Notidanodon]

It’s definitely STH I bought a bunch of matrix from member on here, I Gave that potential I’d as I remember something catching my eye about it and the one seems highly worn so I wasn’t sure

[Notidanodon]

Anyone?

Try using rubbing alcohol and a stiff toothbrush to clean it more, then re-photograph.

It doesn't resemble in any way any sloth ungual I've seen.  Unguals in sloths are the claw cores.  There are six sloth unguals in various conditions in this image:

yes i had to remove about 4cm of matrix from this so just a few finer details to do, the problem is the bone is very fragile
