Fossil Roman Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 This is part of my glyptondontidae shell fragments collection. In this case they are all Glyptodon, the most common ones. I have also found some Panochtus and very few Doedicurus. All found at the beach, west from Montevideo, Uruguay. "Camacho" geological formation.

fossilized6s Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Very nice collection of Glyptodon material. I wish I had a beach like that.

Plantguy Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Yep those are great. We find some of the Glyptotherium scutes up here and I especially like them due to that geometric pattern. Thanks for showing us. Regards, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossil Roman Posted November 16, 2015 Author Share Posted November 16, 2015 (edited) We find some of the Glyptotherium scutes up here and I especially like them due to that geometric pattern. Thanks for showing us. Regards, Chris Chris, yes, they are always a nice find. I think Gliptotherium is not described for my region, but it shows up in northern Brazil, some 15 hundred miles north from here.
