Description

very rare fossil scute, or body armor segment, of armadillo, mm 41 x 32 x 9.
Holmesina is a genus of pampathere, an extinct group of armadillo-like creatures that were distantly related to extant armadillos. Like armadillos, and unlike the other extinct branch of Cingulata, the glyptodonts, the shell was made up of flexible plates which allowed the animal to move more easily. Holmesina species were herbivores; armadillos are mostly insectivorous.
Holmesina individuals were much larger than any modern armadillo. They traveled north in the faunal interchange, and adapted well to North America, like the ground sloths, glyptodonts, armadillos, capybaras, and other South American immigrants. Their fossils are mostly found in Texas and Florida.
