Plaxhaplous was a genus of glyptodont, an extinct relative of the modern armadillo. It lived in the Pleistocene epoch. [1] The type species is Plaxhaplous canaliculatus. [2] Plaxhaplous canaliculatus fossils were found in Argentina, near Luján in Buenos Aires Province. [2] Plaxhaplous fossils have also been found in Uruguay. [1] and in the Charana Formation of Bolivia. [3]
Like all glyptodonts, Plaxhaplous was endowed with a carapace. This carapace was formed by bony osteoderms, which formed a rigid and robust structure which protected the animal from predators. [2]
The name Plaxhaplous means simple, flat surface. [2]
