calhounensis Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 If my eyes aren't mistaken, I believe the toe bone belongs to a Xenarthran. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyc Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 If my eyes aren't mistaken, I believe the toe bone belongs to a Xenarthran. I agree. Seems a little small for sloth and I have no idea what glyptodon or armadillo toes look like. This seems close..... http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/gallery/image/7492-smaller-sloth-medail-phalanx/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shellseeker Posted October 27, 2015 Author Share Posted October 27, 2015 Thanks to both Cal and Gary!!! Have been finding material from all 3 (Sloth, Armadillo, and Glyptodon) at this location. Just based on size, I am thinking Armadillo.
