Hi everyone!

 

I'm back with another Florida Mammal bone that has me stumped. The size rules out most things. I figure it's either sloth or proboscidean but I'm having a hard time figuring out which one as I can't seem to find a good match. Any thoughts?

measurements are:

10.6 cm (4.17 inches) long 

6.2 cm (2.44 inches) tall

4.5 and 3 cm (1.77 and 1.18 inches) wide
