Description
Lophiodon ("Crested tooth") and its relatives (the Lophiodontidae) were odd-toed ungulates (Perissodactyla) which are restricted to Eocene deposits of Western Europe. They were associated with the tapirs but recent cladistic analyses seem to indicate they are more closely related to the chalicotheres. Many species of Lophiodon have been described, possibly not all valid, and the genus is in serious need of revision.
