Cranial Material of Long-Snouted Dolphins (Cetacea, Odontoceti, Eurhinodelphinidae) from the Early Miocene of Rosignano Monferrato, Piedmont (NW Italy): Anatomy, Paleoneurology, Phylogenetic Relationships and Paleobiogeography [PDF]

open access: yesDiversity, 2023
We provide a new study of previously published eurhinodelphinid materials from the early Miocene of Piedmont (NW Italy) based on a new preparation of the fossil specimens. We studied specimens previously assigned to Tursiops miocaenus and Dalpiazella sp.

EURHINODELPHINIDS FROM THE EARLY MIOCENE OF PERU: FIRST UNAMBIGUOUS RECORDS OF THESE HYPER-LONGIROSTRINE DOLPHINS OUTSIDE THE NORTH ATLANTIC REALM

open access: yesRivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia, 2021
Among the many hyper-longirostrine dolphins (Odontoceti) from the Miocene, members of the family Eurhinodelphinidae bear two highly distinctive cranial features: a long and edentulous premaxillary portion of the rostrum and a mandible that is ...

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

open access: yesPapers in Palaeontology, Volume 11, Issue 2, March/April 2025.
Abstract Since its description in 1840, the toothed whale Squalodon was conceptualized as a transitional form between archaeocetes‐like Basilosaurus and the modern toothed whales (Odontoceti). The cranial morphology of Squalodon approximates that of modern odontocetes; however, their dental patterning more closely resembles that of archaeocetes ...

Variation in whale (Cetacea) inner ear anatomy reveals the early evolution of “specialized” high‐frequency hearing sensitivity

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, Volume 246, Issue 3, Page 363-375, March 2025.
Our findings support sensitivity to low‐frequency sound in the archaeocete Zygorhiza kochii and an early toothed mysticete cf. Aetiocetus. Narrow‐band high‐frequency hearing was present in Oligocene odontocetes and stem delphinidans, suggesting it evolved earlier than expected and could represent an ancestral trait rather than a recent innovation ...

open access: yesRevista Geológica de América Central, 2012
Cuatro nuevos registros de Odontoceti son descritos para el Mioceno Superior del sur de América Central; estos hallazgos sugieren una fuerte conexión marina entre la costa del Atlántico Norte de Europa, la Planicie Costera de América del Norte con el ...

New skull of Schizodelphis sulcatus Gervais, 1861 (Mammalia, Odontoceti, Eurhinodelphinidae) from the Lower Miocene of Pignan (Hérault, France) and its implications for systematics of Eurhinodelphinidae

open access: yesGeobios, 2011
Schizodelphis sulcatus is the type species of the Eurhinodelphinid genus Schizodelphis and was until now only known from a rather fragmentary specimen, lacking some important parts of the skull (vertex, ear bones and apex of rostrum). The study of a well-preserved skull of S.

A new archaic homodont toothed cetacean (Mammalia, Cetacea, Odontoceti) from the early Miocene of Peru [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Apart from a few exceptions, extant odontocetes (toothed cetaceans) exhibit a roughly homodont dentition. The transition from basilosaurid-like double-rooted cheek teeth with accessory denticles to single-rooted conical teeth occurred during the late ...

Papahu-like fossil dolphin from Kaikoura, New Zealand, helps to fill the Early Miocene gap in the history of Odontoceti

open access: yes, 2016
An early Miocene dolphin (ZMT 73: partial skull and ear bones) from Kaikoura, New Zealand, is the sister taxon to the previously named Early Miocene Papahu taitapu.

Systematic revision of the Miocene long-snouted dolphin Eurhinodelphis longirostris DU BUS, 1872 (Cetacea, Odontoceti, Eurhinodelphinidae)

open access: yes, 2004
On the basis of the redescription of Miocene Belgian specimens, the systematic status of the long-snouted dolphin genus Schizodelphis (Cetacea, Odontoceti, Eurhinodelphinidae) is revised. The only Belgian species previously recognized, S.
