Megalonyx jeffersonii (Desmarest, 1822), bones of the holotype, left manus (see Daeschler in Thomson 2011a), reproduced from Wistar (1799: pl. 2, with modification), deposited in the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (ANSP 12507); Quaternary (Pleistocene), probably from Haynes Cave, Monroe County, West Virginia (fide Grady 1997), USA. Wistar’s numbers refer to: 1, 5, metacarpals; 2, 3, phalanges; 4, unguals (claw cores). In the articulated digit at top of figure, the second phalanx (middle bone in the figure) is illustrated upside-down. For scale: the longest ungual, upper right, juxtaposed with other bones of the digit, is 17 cm long.
