Xenarthra is an endemic South American lineage of mammals, probably the sister clade of
the other placental mammals. The oldest records of Xenarthra are from the latest Paleocene …

The origins of the distinct sloth lineages are not well documented. The Deseadan SALMA
site of Salla-Luribay presents four Tardigrada and constitutes one of the two oldest sloth …

The record of Palaeogene cingulate xenarthrans in low latitudes is very poor. The cingulate
fauna from the Yurúa River near Santa Rosa in eastern Perú is important because it is one …

Cingulates, the armadillos (Dasypodidae), glyptodonts (Glyptodontidae) and pampatheres
(Pampatheriidae), are perhaps the most distinctive xenarthrans, as their bony carapaces …

Abstract Cingulates (“armadillos and glyptodonts”), is a group of xenarthran mammals
characterized mainly by the presence of an armor of articulated osteoderms which are …

ABSTRACT A specimen in the Field Museum of Natural History is the first record of a pre-
Pleistocene South American pampathere that preserves the skull, dentary, and numerous …

The late Oligocene mammalian fauna of Quebrada Fiera is one of the most diverse of the
Deseadan SALMA (South American Land Mammal Age). We describe its endemic …

The xenarthrans of the sloth subfamily Mylodontinae are conspicuous members of South
