Taxonomic revision of the family Squalodontidae (Cetacea, Odontoceti): emptying the wastebasket of fragmentary holotypes

open access: yesPapers in Palaeontology, Volume 11, Issue 2, March/April 2025.
Abstract The Squalodontidae are one of the most historic families within the Cetacea, given that Squalodon was first named in 1840. Since Squalodon's initial description, workers in the 1800s were eager to assign heterodont cetacean teeth to this family; as a result, it became a wastebasket with many species based on fragmentary remains.

Reassessment of the iconic Oligo‐Miocene heterodont dolphin Squalodon: a redescription of the type species S. grateloupii

MISFITS, POWER, AND HISTORY: RETHINKING ABILITY THROUGH AN ANIMAL LENS

open access: yesHistory and Theory, Volume 64, Issue 1, Page 75-95, March 2025.
ABSTRACT In this article, we construct a critical history of “ability” by focusing on the specific case study of dark‐dwelling animals and the ways in which they have been understood over the course of modernity. Such creatures were frequently the subjects of assumptions and judgments about what they could and could not do.
