Within xenarthrans, two large groups are recognized, Pilosa (anteaters and sloths) and
Cingulata (armoured xenarthrans). The latter contains Glyptodontidae, one of the most …

Fossilization of mammalian young is extremely rare, mainly due to the fragility of bones
(smaller and less mineralized) and unfused sutures, which are difficult to preserve during …

Osteoderms are integumentary bones with high fossilization potential and their importance
for functional morphology and phylogenetic research has been proven for years. Xenarthran …
