This is the moment a team of palaeontologists dig up a 3-million-year-old fossil belonging to an armoured mammal which could grow to the size of a Volkswagen Beetle.

The remains of a prehistoric 3-million-year-old mammal were found on the Playa Paradise beach in the coastal city of Mar del Plata in the province of Buenos Aires in Eastern Argentina.

According to the Lorenzo Scaglia Museum of Natural Science, a team of paleontologists found the fossiled bony tail of a glyptodont named Plohophorus, a mammal similar to an armadillo that lived 3 million years ago in the region.
