These ones are attributed to Holmesina, an extinct pampathere, a large armored mammal closely related to modern armadillos. Pampatheres lived in Florida during the Pleistocene epoch, which lasted from about 2.6 million to 11,700 years ago. \u003cem\u003eH. floridanus\u003c\/em\u003e specifically lived in what is now Florida, hence its name. It was a herbivore and had a heavily armored shell, resembling a gigantic armadillo. Pampatheres are known from fossils found across the Americas and went extinct around the end of the Pleistocene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eApproximate Size of 1 Piece\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e: 30mm x 20mm x 7.5mm\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eApproximate Weight of 1 Piece\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-state=\"closed\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1pc\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWe do our best to buy quality products- although not every rock is the same.
