The representatives of the Pampatheria were externally similar to modern armadillos. They had a head with a slightly elongated snout and a shell that protected both the top of the head, the body and the tail. However, they were significantly larger than the armadillos. The largest forms such as Holmesina and Pampatherium reached a total length of up to 3 m during the Late Pleistocene. According to various estimates, Holmesina weighed between 176 and 195 kg and Pampatherium 214 and 240 kg. Earlier forms such as Vassallia were smaller, with a body length of around 1 m and a weight of 60 to 90 kg
