Haolonggood Stegolophodon - Brown recreates this unusual prehistoric elephant relative as a 1:35 collector-scale model, with four elongated tusks, a raised trunk, substantial body proportions, and detailed skin texture for display and educational collections.

The Haolonggood Stegolophodon - Brown measures: 9.5" L x 2.4" W x 4.7" H
Model Scale: 1:35
The Haolonggood Stegolophodon - Brown presents this prehistoric proboscidean in a forward-moving pose, with one foreleg extended and the trunk raised and curled above the head. Its most prominent feature is the arrangement of four elongated tusks, with a pair projecting from the upper jaw and another pair extending from the lower jaw. The broad body, columnar legs, large ears, and substantial head create the heavy proportions expected of an elephant relative. Wrinkles and folds cover the trunk, face, neck, legs, and torso, while finer surface texture across the body helps define the animal's anatomy. The open mouth and elevated trunk give the figure an active appearance rather than a static standing pose.
At 1:35 scale, the model provides collectors with a representation of a prehistoric proboscidean that is less commonly encountered than mammoths and mastodons. The clearly represented trunk, four-tusk configuration, body proportions, and walking stance also give families and students visible anatomical features to examine when comparing Stegolophodon with modern elephants and other extinct elephant relatives. Its freestanding pose makes it suitable for shelf displays, educational collections, and prehistoric mammal dioramas, while the extended tusks and raised trunk create a distinctive profile that remains easy to examine from multiple viewing angles.
Stegolophodon was an extinct genus of proboscideans, the mammalian order that includes living elephants. The genus is known from Asia from the Miocene into the Pliocene, with fossils reported from areas including China, Japan, Thailand, Myanmar, India, and Pakistan. Different species occupied Asian environments over millions of years, making Stegolophodon an important component of Neogene proboscidean faunas.
Like other proboscideans, Stegolophodon was a large four-legged herbivore. One of its distinguishing anatomical features was the presence of upper tusks together with a pair of lower tusks associated with an elongated lower jaw. Its molar teeth had transverse ridges, or lophs, used in processing plant material. These dental characteristics are especially important to scientists studying relationships among Stegolophodon species and evolutionary changes among prehistoric elephant relatives.
Stegolophodon is known largely from fossil teeth and jaws, while skull material is comparatively uncommon. Fossils assigned to the genus have been recovered from numerous Asian deposits, including the Irrawaddy Formation of Myanmar and Miocene deposits in Thailand, China, and Japan. Stegolophodon latidens, the type species, was originally based on material from Myanmar. The genus is scientifically significant because its anatomy and dental evolution help document the diversification of Asian proboscideans and provide evidence concerning the evolutionary history of later stegodonts.
