One of my all-time favorite paleomammals


When I was a young kid, I had lots of plastic dinosaurs, and also plastic paleomammals.  One of my favorites of the latter was a red plastic glyptodont, just like this one:















So I was quite fascinated to see this article about the discovery of four glyptodont fossils all together.


The Carmadillos: Fossilized shells of armoured creatures the size of Volkswagen Beetles that roamed the earth 20,000 years ago are discovered in Argentina

In real life (back in paleohistory), they were pretty big, obviously.
