FAM 95737 is a nearly complete skeleton and carapace (not seen here). It's skull is one of the most complete glyptodont skulls in North America. It was probably killed by the two puncture wounds almost perfectly centered over the frontal bones, caused by the large canines of a predator such as Smilodon, which penetrated the juvenile's cephalic shield (not found), which was presumably not yet fully developed. The bite would've occurred from the front instead of behind the animal.
