Cooper River, South Carolina Photos by: Below are some pics of Roberts sloth claw. After looking through a few books. I believe this is a Shasta Ground Sloth claw. Nothrotheriops texanus. Early Pleistocene 1-1.5 million years. The specimen is in excellent condition! Right side. Top Left side. Knuckle joint. Shasta Ground Sloth claw. Nothrotheriops texanus. Early Pleistocene 1-1.5 million years. Robert Kyle collection. Time for me to hit the river! Heading down. Coming up. That was fun! We met up with Topper and his divers and showed them the finds Robert had made. The sloth claw is a great find and a rare one as well. |
