Dasypodinae

	Dasypodinae Dasypodidae is a family of mostly extinct genera of armadillos. One genus, '' Dasypus'', is extant, with at least seven living species. __TOC__ Classification Below is a taxonomy of armadillos in this family.

	Early Eocene In the geologic timescale the Ypresian is the oldest age or lowest stratigraphic stage of the Eocene. It spans the time between , is preceded by the Thanetian Age (part of the Paleocene) and is followed by the Eocene Lutetian Age. The Ypresian is consistent with the lower Eocene. Events The Ypresian Age begins during the throes of the Paleocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM). The Fur Formation in Denmark, the Messel shales in Germany, the Oise amber of France and Cambay amber of India are of this age. The Eocene Okanagan Highlands are an uplands subtropical to temperate series of lakes from the Ypresian. Stratigraphic definition The Ypresian Stage was introduced in scientific literature by Belgian geologist André Hubert Dumont in 1850. The Ypresian is named after the Flemish city of Ypres in Belgium (spelled ''Ieper'' in Dutch). The definitions of the original stage were totally different from the modern ones. The Ypresian shares its name with the Belgian Ieper Group (French: ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Proeutatus ''Proeutatus'' is an extinct genus of xenarthran, belonging to the order Cingulata. It lived during the Early Miocene, and its fossilized remains were discovered in South America. Description This animal was vaguely similar to the extant six-banded armadillo, and was similarly sized. The skull was approximately 12 centimeters long, the whole animal not exceeding more than half a meter in length for a weight between 5 and 6 kilograms. ''Proeutatus'' had a quite sturdy body, a high reared skull with an elongated snout and a sturdy set of teeth compared to those of many other armadillos. The skull of ''Proeutatus'' had some characteristics distinguishing it from the more similar forms, such as '' Stenotatus'' and ''Eutatus'' ; the premaxilla had an upper tooth, the zygomatic arch was expanded and had a suborbital process ; the mandible was more robust, with an almost vertically ascending branch and a higher coronoid process. The general shape of the skull was, in lateral view, con ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Nanoastegotherium ''Nanoastegotherium'' is an extinct genus of cingulate, belonging to the family Dasypodidae, which includes the modern nine-banded armadillos. The name of the genus means "small ''Astegotherium''", referring to its small size, smaller than the modern southern long-nosed armadillo, and to its affinities with ''Astegotherium'', with which it forms the tribe Astegotheriini, within the family Dasypodidae. Its type species is ''Nanoastegotherium prostatum'', whose species translates to "earlier" due to its age compared to ''Astegotherium''. Remains of this species comes from La Venta, a location of La Victoria Formation, from central Colombia, dated from the Middle Miocene. Its remains, discovered among the coprolites of crocodiles, consist of the osteoderms of its back and of a caudal tube. These osteoderms were characterized by their rectangular shape with large perforations on their surface, each osteoderms measuring between 4 and 7 millimeters long and 3 to 4.5 millimeters wide.
