Amynodontidae ("threatening tooth")〔American Museum of Natural History, "Perissodactyls Glossary" ()〕 is a family of extinct perissodactyls related to true rhinoceroses, they are commonly portrayed as semiaquatic hippo-like rhinos but this description only fits members of the Metamynodontini, other groups of amynodonts like the cadurcodontines had more typical ungulate proportions and convergently evolved a tapir-like proboscis. Their fossils have been found in North America, Europe and Asia ranging in age from the Middle Eocene to the early Oligocene, with a single genus (''Cadurcotherium'') surviving into the Early Miocene in Asia. ==Taxonomy== †Amynodontidae *Subfamily Amynodontinae * *Tribe Cadurcodontini * * *Genus ''Cadurcodon'' * * *Genus ''Lushiamynodon'' * * *Genus ''Sharamynodon'' * * *Genus ''Sianodon'' * *Tribe Metamynodontini * * *Genus ''Gigantamynodon'' * * *Genus ''Metamynodon'' * * *Genus ''Paramynodon'' * * *Genus ''Zaisanamynodon'' * *Tribe incertae sedis * * *Genus ''Amynodon'' *Subfamily incertae sedis * *Genus ''Amynodontopsis'' * *Genus ''Armania'' * *Genus ''Cadurcamynodon'' * *Genus ''Cadurcopsis'' * *Genus ''Cadurcotherium'' * *Genus ''Caenolophus'' * *Genus ''Euryodon'' * *Genus ''Hypsamynodon'' * *Genus ''Megalamynodon'' * *Genus ''Mesamynodon'' * *Genus ''Penetrigonias'' * *Genus ''Procadurcodon'' * *Genus ''Rostriamynodon'' * *Genus ''Teilhardia'' * *Genus ''Toxotherium'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Amynodontidae」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
