Due to where i found it, i believe it to be the claw of some prehistoric animal, just which one. The hill i go to is loaded with fossils, shark teeth and so on. It almost matches the giant sloth, i dont know. It was at the bottom of the ocean at one point. I live in the coastal plains region. You can literally see where the white sands were which arw layered on top deposits of clay, a grey flaky type deposit, which is where the claw was expired
