Eggysodon is an extinct genus of odd-toed ungulate belong to the rhinoceros-like family Eggysodontidae. It was a small, ground-dwelling browser, and fossils have been found in Oligocene rocks of Germany.[1] Eggysodon may have been related to Preaceratherium, and both had tusklike canines and smaller, and fewer, incisors.
The species "Epiaceratherium" turgaicum Borissiak, 1915, described from Oligocene deposits in Kazakhstan, was once referred to Eggysodon, but was later assigned to its own genus, Tenisia, in 1993. It differs from Eggysodon in having a greater number of incisors and premolars.[2] Allacerops, a close relative of Eggysodon, was synonymized with Eggysodon by Heissig (1989), but is now considered a distinct genus.[3][4][5][6]
