THIS CLAW IS MUCH MORE RARE SO THAN A NORTH AMERICAN FOSSIL SLOTH CLAW DUE TO THIS BAN ON FOSSIL EXPORT OR IMPORT FROM SOUTH AMERICA. It was acquired by us from an old private collection in Florida.  The mesmerizing soft color transition and impeccable surface texture of this fossil begs for it to displayed open and handled hence, the lack of a display box.  Custom-made stand suspends the claw in a life-like pose and is included.  INVESTMENT CLASS because of size, condition and permanent ban on future collecting at this source!
