Simomylodon is an extinct genus of ground sloths from the family Mylodontidae. It lived from the Late Miocene to the Middle Pliocene of what is now Bolivia and Argentina, 5.3 to 2.8 million years ago. The most important find material comes from the central Altiplano in Bolivia and includes several skulls and dentition remains. Thus, the so far documented body skeleton is the best known and most significant of a Miocene representative of the Mylodontidae. On the basis of the remains, it can be concluded that it is a rather small member of the Mylodontidae. The construction of the limbs supports ground-dwelling locomotion, but this does not exclude occasional digging or climbing. The type and only known species is Simomylodon uccasamamensis.

  • Simomylodon ist eine ausgestorbene Gattung der Faultiere aus dem Verwandtschaftskreis der Mylodontidae. Sie kam im Zeitraum vom ausgehenden Oberen Miozän bis zum Ende des Pliozän vor 5,3 bis 2,8 Millionen Jahren in Südamerika vor. Das bedeutendste Fundmaterial stammt vom zentralen Altiplano in Bolivien und umfasst mehrere Schädel und Gebissreste sowie zahlreiche Teile des Bewegungsapparates. Dadurch ist das bisher dokumentierte Körperskelett das am besten bekannte und aussagekräftigste eines miozänen Vertreters der Mylodontidae. Anhand der Reste kann auf einen eher kleinen Angehörigen der Faultiergruppe geschlossen werden. Innerhalb des Schädelmaterials lassen sich eine robuste und grazile Form auseinanderhalten, die wohl mit männlichen und weiblichen Tieren in Verbindung stehen. Die im De (de)
