Hi, @samantha-gray – This looks like a tooth to me, it is very long. What were you thinking it is? @jeanette-pirlo can you take a look?

Hi, @samantha-gray –
So, we can update your classification some! Kingdom Animalia > Phylum Chordata > Class Mammalia > Order Pilosa

You 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/

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 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!

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
