Farmer Discovers Four Giant 'Ancient Armadillo' Glyptodont Shells In Dried-Out Riverbed

Pablo Messineo, one of the archaeologists, said the strange discovery was made by Juan de Dios Sota, a farmer who was taking his cows out for a graze when he spotted the shapes of the shells.

He quickly established that they weren't any ordinary animal, and alerted the scientists, who arrived in short order.
