Gomphotheres were elephant-like proboscideans, but not belonging to the family Elephantidae. They were widespread in North America during the Miocene and Pliocene epochs, 12–1.6 million years ago. Some lived in parts of Eurasia, Beringia, and in South America following the Great American Interchange. Starting about 5 million years ago, mammoths began to replace them except for the last two South American genera, with Cuvieronius not becoming extinct until 9,100 BP,[2] and Haplomastodon, by some authors reclassified into Notiomastodon, fossils dating back as recently as 6,060 BP in the Valle del Magdalena, Colombia.[3] These gomphotheres also survived in Mexico and Central America until the end of the Pleistocene.[4] The name "gomphothere" comes from Ancient Greek γόμφος, "peg; pin; wedge; joint" plus θηρίον, "beast".
