Neuryurus (Xenarthra, Glyptodontidae) in the Lujanian (late Pleistocene-early Holocene) of the Pampean region

摘要

The Neuryurini are among the most poorly known group of Hoplo-phorinae glyptodonts. The only species that has been relatively well characterized as yet is Neuryurus rudis (GERVAIS) from the Ensenadan (early-middle Pleistocene) of the Pampean region, which is known mainly from remains of dorsal armor, and caudal tube and rings. This is the first record and description of genus Neuryurus from Lujanian sediments (Loberia Fm,; late Pleistocene - early Holocene) in Buenos Aires province, Argentina.
