Coryphodon is part of the earliest group of large herbivorous (plant eating) mammals. his animal stood 1 m (3.3 ft) tall at the shoulders, weighed around 500kg (1100 lb), and resembled a small hippopotamus. Tusks in the lower jaw were likely used for rooting up plants, but could have also been used for display as males have larger tusks. This is the lower right jaw of the animal including some teeth (P2-M4).
