All of the teeth offered are very well mineralized. Not fragile and crumbly.
There were basically three different types or genus of sloths in Florida, the mylodontids, the megalonychids, and the megatheres. The first includes the Thinobastides in the Miocene, and the small Glossotherium chapadmalense and the larger Paramylodon harlani.
The second group are the megalonychids which arrived in the late Miocene and lasted until the late Pleistocene. These start with the Pliometanastes and grow progressively larger through M. curvidens, (early Pliocene), leptostomus, (late Pliocene-early Pleistocene) M. wheatleyi, and M. jeffersoni. These sloths had more curved, flat claw cores, as did the eremotheres. In the teeth that follow, the smaller teeth are those of the earlier sloths.
The third type includes the enormous eremothere and the much smaller Nothrotheriops texanum. Both of these are relatively more scarce in Florida than the other two types. The large Eremotherium teeth are often found split in half.

Megalonychid sp. Teeth
Pliometanastes, curvidens, leptostomus, and
wheatleyi..
The larger ones I'm pretty sure are wheatlyi. These are much more
rare than the larger species.
