Molecular and morphological baraminology of Xenarthra
, 2023 There are 31 xenarthran species living today, made up of armadillos, anteaters, and sloths. These animals are characterized by a narrow, elongated skull and a unique vertebral process in the posterior trunk. Xenarthra represents an apobaramin within which several holobaramins may be discerned, using both mitochondrial DNA and morphological data.

Evolutionary Implications of Dental Eruption in Dasypus (Xenarthra)
Journal of Mammalian Evolution, 2011 Late eruption of the permanent dentition was recently proposed as a shared anatomical feature of endemic African mammals (Afrotheria), with anecdotal reports indicating that it is also present in dasypodids (armadillos). In order to clarify this question, and address the possiblity that late eruption is shared by afrotherians and dasypodids, we ...
