Cingulata

Cingulata, part of the superorder Xenarthra, is an order of armored New World placental mammals.

See Machlydotherium and Cingulata

Eocene

The Eocene is a geological epoch that lasted from about 56 to 33.9 million years ago (Ma).

See Machlydotherium and Eocene

Extinction

Extinction is the termination of a taxon by the death of its last member.

See Machlydotherium and Extinction

Florentino Ameghino

Florentino Ameghino (born Giovanni Battista Fiorino Giuseppe Ameghino; September 19, 1853 – August 6, 1911) was an Argentine naturalist, paleontologist, anthropologist and zoologist, whose fossil discoveries on the Argentine Pampas, especially on Patagonia, rank with those made in the western United States during the late 19th century. Machlydotherium and Florentino Ameghino are taxa named by Florentino Ameghino.

Genus

Genus (genera) is a taxonomic rank above species and below family as used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms as well as viruses.

See Machlydotherium and Genus

Glyptodon

Glyptodon is a genus of glyptodont, an extinct group of large, herbivorous armadillos, that lived from the Pliocene, around 3.2 million years ago, to the early Holocene, around 11,000 years ago, in South America. Machlydotherium and glyptodon are fossils of Argentina, fossils of Brazil, Prehistoric cingulates and Prehistoric placental genera.

See Machlydotherium and Glyptodon

Miocene

The Miocene is the first geological epoch of the Neogene Period and extends from about (Ma).

See Machlydotherium and Miocene

Mustersan

The Mustersan age is a period of geologic time (48.0–42.0 Ma) within the Eocene epoch of the Paleogene, used more specifically within the South American land mammal age (SALMA) classification. Machlydotherium and Mustersan are Paleogene Argentina.

See Machlydotherium and Mustersan

Oligocene

The Oligocene is a geologic epoch of the Paleogene Period and extends from about 33.9 million to 23 million years before the present (to). As with other older geologic periods, the rock beds that define the epoch are well identified but the exact dates of the start and end of the epoch are slightly uncertain.

See Machlydotherium and Oligocene

Osteoderm

Osteoderms are bony deposits forming scales, plates, or other structures based in the dermis.

See Machlydotherium and Osteoderm

Pampatheriidae

Pampatheriidae ("Pampas beasts") is an extinct family of large cingulates related to armadillos. Machlydotherium and Pampatheriidae are Prehistoric cingulates.

See Machlydotherium and Pampatheriidae

South America

South America is a continent entirely in the Western Hemisphere and mostly in the Southern Hemisphere, with a considerably smaller portion in the Northern Hemisphere.

See Machlydotherium and South America

Tinguirirican

The Tinguirirican (Tinguiririquense) age is a period of geologic time (36.0–29.0 Ma) within the Late Eocene and Early Oligocene epochs of the Paleogene, used more specifically within the SALMA classification in South America.
