Glyptodonts are large, extinct, herbivorous mammals that first appeared 38 million years ago and went extinct at the end of the Ice Age 12 thousand years ago. They had shells covering their body made of interlocking plates forming a strong armor much like their modern cousins, armadillos. Unlike armadillos, they could not roll into a ball. Glyptodonts were also MUCH larger. Some species grew to lengths of over 12 feet long, 6 feet tall, and over two and a half tons!
A great opportunity to own a piece of an iconic Ice Age mammal at a price that won't break the bank!
All my items come with a Certificate of Authenticity!
