You need to provide exact measurements (millemeters are best) Here is a thread. http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/topic/78062-small-sloth-tooth/ another on Garbanii http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/topic/78062-small-sloth-tooth/ I can not distinguish Leptostomus or Garbanii teeth from any other Sloth tooth. Maybe @Harry Pristis or @PrehistoricFlorida can....

Leptostomus is supposed to be pretty small. I have some Harlan's teeth in the range of 40 mm.
