Choerolophodontidae is an extinct family of large herbivorous mammals that were closely related to elephants. Two genera are known, Afrochoerodon and Choerolophodon.[1]
Although usually classified as part of Gomphotheriidae, recent cladistic analysis recovers choerolophodont gomphotheres as basal to trilophodont gomphotheres and therefore a distinct family.[2]
Fossils of choerolophodontids have been found in Africa, China, Anatolia, and the Balkans.[3][4]
