Referred material: Tree osteoderms of the scapular or pelvic buckler: PIMUZ A/ V 431 ( Fig. 3 View Fig ); one osteoderm of the scapular buckler: PIMUZ A/ V 432.

Comment: Regarding the genus attribution, the same remarks as for the previous section on Pa. humboldtii are applicable for PIMUZ A/V 431 and PIMUZ A/V 432—i.e., reassigned here to Pampatherium . Unlike PIMUZ A/V 428 and PIMUZ A/V 430, PIMUZ A/V 431 and PIMUZ A/V 432 exhibit a subtle delineation between the nearly smooth central figure and the lateral margins

( Fig. 3 View Fig ). According to Oliveira and Pereira (2009), I thus assign these two specimens to Pa. typum .
