Glyptotherium (from Greek for 'grooved or carved beast') is a genus of glyptodont (an extinct group of large, herbivorous armadillos) that lived from the Early Pliocene, about 4.9 million years ago, to the Early Holocene, around 7,000 years ago, in the United States, Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Honduras, El Salvador, Panama, Venezuela, and Brazil. The genus was first described in 1903 by American paleontologist Henry Fairfield Osborn with the type species being, G. texanum, based on fossils that had been found in the Pliocene Blancan Beds in Llano Estacado, Texas, USA. The genus has since been discovered in many more fossil sites. Another species, G. cylindricum, was named in 1912 by fossil hunter Barnum Brown on the basis of a partial carapace, teeth, and several additional fossils tha

  • El gliptoteri (Glyptotherium) és un gènere extint de gliptodontí. Pertanyia a un grup de mamífers relacionats amb els armadillos d'avui en dia. Se'l considera un representant de la megafauna nord-americana, gran part de la qual s'extingí en temps prehistòrics. El gliptoteri podria haver desaparegut a causa del canvi climàtic o la interferència per part dels humans. Les últimes espècies de gliptoteri s'extinguiren fa uns 12.000 anys. (ca)
  • Glyptotherium (griechisch „Geschnitztes Tier“) ist eine Gattung ausgestorbener Säugetiere aus der Verwandtschaft der Gürteltiere. Es gehört wie die bekannte, ähnliche Gattung Glyptodon aus Südamerika in die Gruppe der Glyptodontidae und wird daher zuweilen auch als „nordamerikanisches Glyptodon“ bezeichnet. (de)
  • Glyptotherium est un genre éteint de mammifères xénarthres proche du tatou. Ces animaux faisaient partie de la mégafaune nord-américaine, dont beaucoup d’espèces ont aujourd’hui disparu. Glyptotherium a dû s’éteindre à cause d’un changement climatique ou de la présence de l’Homme. L'espèce Glyptotherium texanum s'est éteinte il y a environ 12 000 ans. (fr)
  • Glyptotherium es un género extinto de glyptodonte, un grupo de mamíferos parientes del armadillo. Su género es considerado un ejemplo de megafauna norteamericana, la mayor parte de la cual se extinguió en el evento de extinción del Cuaternario.​ Glyptotherium probablemente desapareció debido a la caza excesiva.​​ Las últimas especies de Glyptotherium se extinguieron aproximadamente hace 12,000 años coincidiendo con la expansión del ser humano.​ (es)
  • Glyptotherium is uitgestorven gordeldierachtige uit de familie Glyptodontidae. Dit geslacht leefde tijdens het Plioceen en Pleistoceen. (nl)
  • Глиптотерии (лат. Glyptotherium) — род ископаемых броненосцев, обитавших в плиоцене — плейстоцене (5,3—0,012 млн лет назад) от Северной до Южной Америки. Достигали длины 1,8 м и массы — до тонны. Как и современные броненосцы, обладали толстым панцирем, сходным с черепашьим, но образованным из сотен небольших шестигранных чешуек. (ru)

  • Il Glyptotherium texanum è un animale estinto imparentato con l'odierno armadillo.Come quest'ultimo, possedeva una corazza, che tuttavia mancava di fasce che le conferissero mobilità, ed era quindi simile visivamente al carapace delle tartarughe, dal quale si differenziava perché non era fatta da un unico pezzo, ma da migliaia di scaglie esagonali. Il Glyptotherium misurava un paio di metri di lunghezza e arrivava a pesare una tonnellata. Visse negli attuali Florida, Carolina del Sud e Texas. (it)
