The first record of a juvenile specimen of Glyptodon sp. (Cingulata, Glyptodontidae) from the Quaternary of Córdoba province, Argentina, is reported. The material consists of 90 osteoderms of the dorsal carapace, 19 osteoderms of the caudal armor and some post-cranial bones. This specimen principally presents hexagon shape osteoderms, with high thickness/maximum diameter ratio, circular or subcircular central figure, elevated in relation with the peripheric surface, with central depression, large piliferous perforations, poorly defined or completely absent peripheric figures and with a concave internal surface.
