Peat Burns Posted February 7, 2016 Author Share Posted February 7, 2016 Holmesina, I believe. Thank you very much. It looks similar to images on Google search. Is it possible that it could be Glyptotherium, based on its large size? Do Holmesina have vertebrae this large? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calhounensis Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 The late Pleistocene H. septentrionalis, was larger than the Pliocene-early Pleistocene H. floridanus. I don't have the comparative material on hand, but my guess is it would be the former. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have the comparative material on hand, but my guess is it would be the former. Thank you very much, Calhounensis! This has it narrowed down. Does anyone else have any material like this who can chime in on whether this is too big for H. sepentrionalis? Is there any key differences in H. septentrionalis vs. Glytotherium that I should look for? Thanks very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
