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?

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.

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.
