Armadillos weighed in at over 600 pounds and exceeded 6 feet in length, the Giant Armadillo. It is believed these creatures spread to Florida during the Pleistocene from their original domain in South America. It is still a mystery as to what they ate. Modern armadillos eat insects but to sustain 600 pounds of body mass would have required some other type of food source. About 9800 years ago, a dramatic shift in the climate caused their extinction in Florida.

A Scute of a armadillo is typically black from the mineral content in the ground where it fossilized. A “Scute” is a section from the external bony or horny plate, enlarged scales covering the exterior of some animals such as turtle, armadillo or the extinct glyptodont. Side scutes are about 1/2 the size or smaller of the regular scutes.
