Garobunodon (lit. 'Garo Hills mound tooth') is an extinct genus of anthracothere that lived during Middle to Late Miocene in what is now India and Pakistan. It is known from several mandibular remains. There are three known species within the genus, with the type species being Garobunodon silistrensis, which was originally described as a species of Anthracotherium in 1828, before being moved to its own genus by Martin Pickford in 2026.[2][1]
