“…As described by Pereira et al (2012) for Eremotherium laurillardi, the MF4 of the specimen studied here shows the mesial ridge wider and mesodistally compressed when compared to the distal crest. The pulp cavity occupies about two-thirds of the total size of the tooth, a diagnostic character for E. laurillardi according to Cartelle & De Iuliis (2006). The astragalus ( Figure 2A) is complete, with few fractures at the edges.…”

“…The classification of the genus Smilodon is controversial. Some authors claim there was a single species in the Americas (Paula Couto, 1979;Berta, 1987;Lessa et al, 1998;Cartelle & De Iuliis, 2006), whereas others recognize two species (Kurtén & Werdelin, 1990;Christiansen, 2012). Bocherens et al (2016) suggested that S. populator predominantly hunted prey in open environments, behaving as a social predator.…”

“…Cartelle y de Iuliis (1995Iuliis ( , 2006 con base en el análisis de ejemplares de diferentes partes del continente americano mostraron que sólo existe una especie E. laurillardi, la cual posee un amplio grado de variación de tamaño y morfología y una distribución panamericana. Las especies de Eremotherium que se habían propuesto estaban basadas principalmente en la ubicación geográfica, lo que había resultado en una serie de diagnosis basadas en diferencias cuantitativas y cualitativas muy pequeñas.…”
