Stegodon

Stegodon, is a genus of the extinct subfamily Stegodontinae of the order Proboscidea. It was assigned to the family Elephantidae, but has also been placed in Stegodontidae. Stegodonts were present from 11.6 mya to late Pleistocene, with unconfirmed records of regional survival until 4,100 years ago. Fossils are found in Asian and North American Neogene strata. In North America, they lived in large parts of New Mexico during the Miocene, locally in Canada into the Pleistocene epoch.
