Stegodon Means "roofed tooth"

Stegodon luzonensis is a species of extinct elephant.

The most important difference between Stegodon and the (other) Elephantidae can be observed in the molars. Molars of stegodonts consist of a series of low, roof-shaped ridges, whereas in elephants each ridge has become a high-crowned plate.
