I have some new additions to my collection and a few of them are missing labels. The minerals are well labeled in this collection but the fossils are not. Most are classic specimens from well known localities so no problems there. This bone however has me thinking. Its short, thick, and stocky (115mm x 76mm x 58mm). My first thought was sloth/glypto. ?? Any help as always is appreciated.

@mikeymig  Three of five images show the same view.  Got any additional images?

Sorry, Mikey, I have a clutch of ankle bones, like this one, for which I have no ID.  Hulbert tells me to bring them to the Museum so he can use the comparative collection there.

For example, this bone compared with a tapir magnum:
