Chris Anderson Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Found this piece on North Myrtle Beach. I am almost certain it is a giant ground sloth tooth fragment from what I seen. The front and black has the jet black enamel of a tooth and is layered. I've never found a sloth tooth before so I would like to be sure that is what it is. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Uncle Siphuncle Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Respectfully, I'm not convinced of sloth tooth ID based on surface character. Do you have other views you can post? And can you cite attributes you consider as diagnostic? 2 Grüße, Daniel A. Wöhr aus Südtexas "To the motivated go the spoils." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a picture I found on the internet that looks similar but the piece I have is broken. 9 minutes ago, Uncle Siphuncle said: Respectfully, I'm not convinced of sloth tooth ID based on surface character.
