Cooper River, South Carolina Photos by: Below are some pics of Roberts sloth claw. After looking through a few books. I believe this is a Shasta Ground Sloth claw. Nothrotheriops texanus. Early Pleistocene 1-1.5 million years. The specimen is in excellent condition!

That was fun! We met up with Topper and his divers and showed them the finds Robert had made. The sloth claw is a great find and a rare one as well.
