| Sumario: | Paleogene records of Cingulata Glyptodontidae are scarce. The only well described comes from the Paleogene
of Argentine Patagonia. Two subfamilies have been reported for that period: Glyptatelinae and Propalaehoplophorinae.
Until this contribution, the latter taxon was geographically restricted to the locality of El Pajarito (Late Oligocene,
Deseadan SALMA), Chubut province, Argentina. Here we present and describe the northernmost record of a Paleogene
Propalaehoplophorinae. The material is represented by three associated osteoderms of the dorsal carapace from the
Fray Bentos Formation (Late Oligocene, Deseadan SALMA) in the locality of Cueva del Tigre, Chajarí, Entre Ríos
province, Argentina. Morphologically, these remains are almost identical to those reported from the late Oligocene of
the Patagonian region, showing |
