that some species of giant ground sloths were known to have had. But, to the best of my knowledge, no one 'believes' BF has them. At least I hope not! I suggested awhile back that, since dermal ossicles were known to have existed in one mammal, it wouldn't be an impossibility for another mammal to have them. But I don't think we will ever 'know' whether BF has them or not unless someone obtains a dead specimen. As I understand it, these bony calcifications form UNDER the skin, so I doubt they would be observable except during a necropsy.
