First, it is important to preface this description with the fact that this is not of the giant sloth Eremotherium which has claws that can exceed a foot in length, this is the smaller Paramylodon harlani giant sloth and considering this where most claws found are half this size, this is a true prize specimen. At 8 inches in length, this is a MASSIVE and INVESTMENT-CLASS specimen, the largest we have seen (impressive coming from a company in the midst of the richest fossil deposits of this beast in North America). Everything you see in the photos above is 100% ORIGINAL, AUTHENTIC AND COMPLETE AS FOUND! There is no repair, restoration or enhancement and only a paleontological hardener was applied to stabilize the specimen. If you wish to own one of the most impressive and probably will be the largest claw of this Ice Age beast you will ever see, this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to make it happen.
Of the finest state of preservation rivaling a modern bone, this remarkable fossil claw is from the extinct giant ground sloth species Paramylodon harlani. This fossil claw is a must as it is the highest possible quality - clearly the best AND LARGEST we have ever had and preserved in a state that would be impossible to improve on. A superb specimen in every way with delicate rare, intact sheath anatomy present. The preservation is nothing short of perfect. Perfect and dense articulating surfaces are also a bonus feature of this specimen.
