Nice specimen @carl-lewis. Would you be able to upload an image with a scale bar? You should also be able to fill in much of the classification. This is really easy to do on the web-platform myfossil.org. Talk to you soon, Jen

I need to get a ruler these were just a small taste of fossils I’ve found. Tooth is 2 1/2 inches long

Feel free to comment! I’m not a fossil expert, but do like to collect specimens

Hi @samantha-gray you wrote that you think it is a sloth tooth? I’m not a Florida or vertebrate expert but I can certainly tag in some folks that may be able to help you. And to confirm it was found at Jacksonville Beach? cc @jeanette-pirlo @smoran
-
Hi @samantha-gray can you take a picture of it with some sort of scale bar? Even just a pen would be great! As well as a picture of the occlusal side, the side that would have chewed the food. Thanks!
-
@Jeanette-pirlo – she has added a few more images if you could take another look.

looks like horse tooth with broken tip
-
If you google images of ground sloth tooth fossils it definitely looks more like that. A horse molar has more pronounced separated roots
-
i agree @samantha-gray this is certainly a sloth tooth! Excellent find! the ridges on the side of the tooth can be indicative of a horse tooth, but due to the size and the occlusal end, I agree that this is a slot tooth. Awesome!

Hi, @samantha-gray –
So, we can update your classification some! Kingdom Animalia > Phylum Chordata > Class Mammalia > Order PilosaYou can use Macrostrat to try to narrow in on the geologic context some: https://macrostrat.org/map/#/z=13.1/x=-81.4151/y=30.2800/bedrock/lines/

Not really Florida but I wasn’t a expected to see dinosaurs. There was a tooth there that said “Velociraptor from Morocco”? That is actually an Abelisaurid tooth. No Velociraptors have ever been reported in Africa as far as I know. I would love if the labe could get changed soon. It come from the Kem Kem Formation. Same as the Spinosaurus teeth that are in the exhibit case as well. #fossil #event
