Eggysodon

Synonyms: Engyodon

Wikipedia Abstract

Eggysodon is an extinct genus of odd-toed ungulate. It was a small, ground-dwelling browser, and fossils have been found in Oligocene rocks of Germany. A closely related genus, but with a greater number of incisors and premolars, has been found in Oligocene rocks in Khazakhstan. The genus, Tenisia, was described in 1915. Eggysodon may have been related to Preaceratherium, and both had tusklike canines and smaller, and fewer, incisors. It is also related to Prohyracodon, and is synonymous with Allacerops.
