Choerolophodontidae is an extinct family of proboscideans belonging to Elephantida. Two genera are widely recognised, Afrochoerodon and Choerolophodon.[1]
Taxonomy
Although usually classified as part of Gomphotheriidae, cladistic analysis recovers choerolophodont gomphotheres as basal to trilophodont gomphotheres and therefore a distinct family.[2] Some studies have included the North American Gnathabelodon within the family.[3]
Distribution
Fossils of choerolophodontids have been found in Africa, China, Anatolia, and the Balkans.[4][5]
