[edit] Geographic range

Anyone know exactly where Glytodons lived??? I'm doing a science project on them.

According to McKenna and Bell (1997), the genus itself was restricted to South America. The family was also found in North America. The geographic description in the article is actually in reference to the family or subfamily (Glyptotherium was found in North America). --Aranae 01:45, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Charles Darwin & Glyptodon

Charles Darwin discovered a fossil of some species of Glyptodon in South America in the 1830s. Was he the first naturalist to find such a beast? It seems likely that locals had been finding fossils of them before but disregarded them.

That could be true, as is with the case of the chinese and european dragon, as well as the Australian Bunyip. But debate is still going and a search of text and any other material related to that timeframe is advised. Enlil Ninlil 02:09, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
