New well-preserved materials ofGlossotherium chapadmalense(Xenarthra, Mylodontidae) from the Pliocene of Argentina shed light on the origin and evolution of the genus

Abstract: Fossil remains of extinct mylodontine sloths have been discovered in numerous localities throughout the American supercontinent, but knowledge of them is still mainly centered on the Pleistocene forms rather than their Neogene relatives. In this contribution, previously unpublished cranial and postcranial materials herein ascribed to Glossotherium chapadmalense (Kraglievich), coming from the Pliocene Chapadmalal Formation (Province of Buenos Aires, Argentina), are presented. These remains are described and com… Show more

“…The upper and lower dental series show no diastema between the two most anterior teeth (Cf1/cf1 and Mf1/mf1). Upper tooth rows are straight in Espinar specimens, and not bowed medially as in Glossotherium chapadmalense (MMP 245-M; Boscaini et al, 2022). As is typical in Simomylodon , the premaxillae are short, either forming a rounded (Fig.…”
