Taxonomic implications of morphometric analysis of earless seal limb bones [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2019 Fossil Phocidae (earless seals) are mostly known from isolated postcranial material, forcing researchers to rely upon humeri and femora for the diagnosis of taxa and reconstruction of phylogeny.

Rivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia, 2013 Despite a long history of phocid studies, no fossil members of the Subfamily Cystophorinae have ever been described. New fossil material from the Middle Sarmatian (11.2-12.3 Ma) in the Paratethyan Basin of Ukraine allows emended diagnoses and ...

Characterization of pinniped vibrissal type and number
Marine Mammal Science, Volume 41, Issue 1, January 2025.Abstract Pinnipeds have vibrissae with which they can explore their environment. Two vibrissal parameters that differ in pinnipeds are shape and number. Regarding shape, most phocids have undulated vibrissae, whereas the vibrissae of a few phocids, all otariids and walruses are smooth.
