Gomphothere

Extinct family of proboscidean mammals

Gomphotheres are an extinct group of proboscideans related to modern elephants, widespread across Afro-Eurasia and North America during the Miocene and Pliocene epochs and dispersed into South America during the Pleistocene as part of the Great American Interchange. Gomphotheres are a paraphyletic group ancestral to Elephantidae, which contains modern elephants, as well as Stegodontidae.
