DOI: 10.1093/zoolinnean/zlaa119
Abstract: Most xenarthrans have a reduced and simplified dentition that lacks enamel. However, the presence of prismatic enamel has been recorded in the Eocene armadillos Utaetus buccatus (Euphractinae) and Astegotherium dichotomus (Astegotheriini). Among extant xenarthrans, the… read more here.
