Help identify these pleistocene mammal fossils

[clovisoid]

Long story short, I put my old metal detector to good use and traded a local collector for a large collection of pleistocene fossils from Northern South America. I can identify some, but I'd love some help from the group.
These first two are teeth. I pieced them back together as best I could, but they are pretty fragmentary.




This group is a selection of the verts. I think ground sloth based on the tooth, but that's about as far as I can go. I ended up with a bunch more that are similar size and condition.

No idea, I thought phalange but that's just a swag.

Giant armadillo scutes?  From one of my kill sites.

Looks like a job for Jess and Roger to me! Those scutes? are awesome.

Here are two pieces I didn't get.
A large claw core articulated with a bone (two pieces.)



A very large, heavy (dense) bone. The collector thought it was something from the foot area.

Most all of what you have looks like Sloth material to me.
Then again some looks like aquatic mammal too. (Doubtful)
Well with exception of the glyptodont scutes.
Those are cool. Found some of those along the N. Sulphur here in Tx.

Jess,
Awesome, thanks for the confirmation.
Just out of curiousity, what looks marine?   At a road cut near this site I can find Megalodon-like teeth, so there could be something from an older layer here as well.

  Last set of pics.
Those look similar to dolphin.
Roger will probably have more detailed input, I'm going on a WAG.

Jess,
The collector sent me some additional info -and- pictures.
The first picture is just a general sloth picture he added some labels to.

These are the parts that looked marine in my very bad pictures.

Claw with finger bone:

And the last is a tusk that came from the same site.

From the write up, these are the species found in the later excacation.
Haplomastodon guayanensis
Stegomastodon sp.
Eremotherium rusconhl
Eremotheriuri elenensis
Gliptodon sp.
Pampatheríum

  The above three pics look like sloth claws.
The teeth in the first two pics of post #90576
appear to be sloth teeth.

11kbp, thank you, you all have found a great assortment of fossils.
