Species: Holmesina sp.

Age: Pleistocene, 1.9 million years old

Weighing up to 119 lbs and reaching lengths of over 6 1/2 feet long, holmesina definitely earned the name giant armadillo. While not as large as the more famous Glyptodont, these guys behaved in a very similar fashion, relying on low vegetation and insects for survival.

What our customers say

Received shipment of fossils today and we are absolutely awed and astonished by them! What amazing specimens! The ammonite snake is unbelievable and the turtle is a rare beauty. Wow! All of them, the lobster, the insect, the ginkgo, wonderful! I started collecting fern fossils in Illinois when I was 10 years old in the 1950's and have added a few specimens here and there over the years but after having found you, our collection has become very special. Also, thanks for the great packaging and the display boxes and stands, you're a classy guy Richard!
