Awesome!  Never managed to find one of those. Without revealing too much, what part of the state are they from?  Nebraska has amazing fossils.

Hi Smoky Hill, I'm new here, too.  Those are wonderful sloth claw cores from NE.  Big congrats on scoring those.  Any of those are dream finds.  I see what look Megalonix jeffersonii and Paramylodon harlani well represented in there.  You think they are late Pleistocene?

Thanks for the nice comments 5Humper

I had assumed they were late Pleistocene but I really am not an expert on dating these things. We also find mammoth, mastodon and the remains of extinct species of bison (skulls), all are from the same drainage system. I am also aware of a nice musk ox skull which was found by a friend.
