Finite Element Analysis of the Cingulata Jaw: An Ecomorphological Approach to Armadillo’s Diets

Finite element analyses (FEA) were applied to assess the lower jaw biomechanics of cingulate xenarthrans: 14 species of armadillos as well as one Pleistocene pampathere (11 extant taxa and the extinct forms Vassallia, Eutatus and Macroeuphractus).
