Daouitherium

Daouitherium is an extinct genus of early proboscideans that lived during the early Eocene some 55 million years ago in North Africa.

Description
Daouitherium is known only from lower jaws and associated cheek teeth. It had lophodont and bilophodont molars, i.e. molars with large ridges. The second and third premolars had a notably large cusp called the hypoconid. Gheerbrant et al. described the teeth as similar to those of other early proboscideans Phosphatherium, Numidotherium, and Barytherium. == Taxonomy ==
