Massive Ancient Armadillo Shells Unearthed in Argentina

Archaeologists in Argentina are celebrating a rather sizeable discovery in the form of four massive armadillo shells which once belonged to creatures that roamed the Earth thousands of years ago. The remarkable find was reportedly made by a farmer named Juan de Dios Sota as he was walking his cattle along a stream near Buenos Aires. Due to a severe drought that has struck the country, a portion of the river bed had become exposed and, with it, a pair of puzzling protrusions had emerged from the mud.

The farmer subsequently reported the odd round shapes to local authorities, who enlisted the help of archaeologists to investigate the matter. When they arrived on the scene and began digging, the scientists were stunned to find not two, but four huge shells belonging to an ancient species of armadillo known as a glyptodont. It is believed that the creatures, which measured around six feet long and weighed a whopping one ton, resided in the region around 20,000 years ago. The four specific fossils discovered by the farmer were likely the remains of two adults and a pair of juveniles.
