A Juvenile Glyptodont from the Miocene of Patagonia, Argentina.
[sciencythoughts.blogspot.com]
Glyptodonts, Cingulata, are known from the late Eocene to the early Holocene of South, Central, and North America. Their fossil record is represented mainly by disarticulated osteoderms during the Eocene and Oligocene, and the oldest known skull remains are from the early Miocene. Glyptodont skulls are relatively well known from the early Miocene through the earliest Holocene, when Glyptodonts became extinct. The oldest known Glyptodont skulls belong to the Propalaehoplophorinae, from the Santa Cruz Formation (late early Miocene) in Patagonia, Argentina, and to Glyptodontidae incertae sedis from the Chucal Formation (early Miocene) in the Chilean Altiplano.
