About: Stegotherium

An Entity of Type: WikicatArmadillos, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Stegotherium is an extinct genus of long-nosed armadillo, belonging to the Dasypodidae family alongside the nine-banded armadillo. It is currently the only genus recognized as a member of the tribe Stegotheriini. It lived during the Early Miocene of Patagonia and was found in Colhuehuapian rocks from the Sarmiento Formation, Santacrucian rocks from the Santa Cruz Formation, and potentially also in Colloncuran rocks from the Middle Miocene Collón Curá Formation. Its strange, almost toothless and elongated skull indicates a specialization for myrmecophagy, the eating of ants, unique among the order Cingulata, which includes pampatheres, glyptodonts and all the extant species of armadillos.

dbo:abstract
  • Stegotherium es un género extinto de armadillos de gran tamaño de la familia Dasypodidae. Se trataba de un armadillo primitivo que vivió en la Patagonia argentina entre el Eoceno al Mioceno inferior, el cual presenta un cráneo alargado y prolongado, con forma de pico y mandíbulas esteliformes como los oso hormigueros, pero con algunos dientes rudimentarios. Su coraza estaba formada por placas óseas sueltas, no soldadas, presentando el sistema pilífero sumamente desarrollado.​​ (es)
