PaleoRon Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 For a second I thought it looked like you had camel toe, but I decided it wasn't appropriate. At any rate it is a toe bone from a pretty big critter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tracer Posted March 29, 2009 Author Share Posted March 29, 2009 ok, well, now that the ascertainment of macro classification is complete, i'd like to push my luck and ask if anyone has an idea which of several genies of sloths might have worn this toe? i didn't want to rub the wrong bottle. i tried to look up the different sloth gangs but didn't find much on the relative physical size of them, and especially of their toes. in the process, i started imagining two sloths of different persuasions meeting up in the pleistocene and getting into a fight, in slow motion. it was a pretty amusing bit of mental imagery but did nothing to assist in quelling my curiosity regarding who sported the toe.

bigjohn835 Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 It might be my lack of intelligence or maybe the sauce, but isn't a little large for a sloth toe?

tracer Posted March 29, 2009 Author Share Posted March 29, 2009 It might be my lack of intelligence or maybe the sauce, but isn't a little large for a sloth toe? I'm not trying to start something or disagree, but I'm just trying to learn something. no, and it's ok to question things here. if you google giant ground sloths, you'll find that they got, um, scuze my lankwich, freakin' huge. there is a skeleton of one in the houston museum of natural science that probably would have weighed multiple tons. the problem for me is that i don't know enough to tell whether it's a pinky from a juvenile giant or a giant from a large smaller specie. but it is indeed a sloth phalanx, and i was just seeking confirmation of that initially, but there are certain characteristics of it that are fairly distinctive. omg - auspex! i was just researching xenarthrans and found out that there's a "screaming hairy armadillo"! and apparently nobody's formed a band with that name yet! dibs on vocals.

tracer Posted March 29, 2009 Author Share Posted March 29, 2009 That's...a curiously disturbing mental image... yeah, it's a keeper. speaking of disturbing images, tj at times likes to lead the path finding, and he ran across a snake yesterday and subsequently seemed to be a bit fixated on the fact that some sticks aren't sticks. i'd given him fair warning that our friends the ophidians like to catch up on their sunshine and hunting this time of year.

barefootgirl Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Congrats on the find! I'm happy to see you had a good time with Jr. In formal logic, a contradiction is the signal of defeat: but in the evolution of real knowledge, it marks the first step in progress toward victory.

tracer Posted March 29, 2009 Author Share Posted March 29, 2009 Camel Toe!!! well, i happened to find a picture online that just happens to show a big ground sloth claw and a camel phalanx in the same picture, so you can sort of see that camel phalanges are slimmer and longer, and not nearly as big. but i do strongly wish to eventually find something identifiable from a camel also, because we haven't found anything for sure from one yet. picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
