Giant ground sloth tooth fragment?

[Guest 1551]

Hey guys, any idea? It appears to be some kind of tooth. Is part of a giant ground sloth or am I just totally mistaken?

Pretty neat looking, Have you ruled out a fossilized Tortoise shell scale?

I think you are correct . . . Megalonyx sp. or Paramylodon sp. tooth, I'm not sure which..
