The oldest mysticete in the Northern Hemisphere.
Current BiologyExtant baleen whales (Mysticeti) uniquely use keratinous baleen for filter-feeding and lack dentition, but the fossil record clearly shows that "toothed" baleen whales first appeared in the Late Eocene.1 Globally, only two Eocene mysticetes have been ...

Coexistence of Oligocene toothed and baleen-assisted mysticetes in the northwestern Pacific [PDF]
Fossil RecordOligocene mysticetes display an unparalleled diversity and morphological disparity in the evolutionary history of Mysticeti. However, their paleoecological aspects, such as the patterns of coexistence of different morphotypes, remain poorly explored ...

A PLIOCENE GRAY WHALE (ESCHRICHTIUS SP.) FROM THE EASTERN NORTH ATLANTIC
Rivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia, 2020 The gray whale Eschrichtius robustus, the only living member of the eschrichtiid lineage, currently inhabits only the North Pacific. Interestingly, however, the holotypes of both E.

A new Miocene baleen whale from Peru deciphers the dawn of cetotheriids [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2017 Cetotheriidae are an iconic, nearly extinct family of baleen whales (Mysticeti) with a highly distinct cranial morphology. Their origins remain a mystery, with even the most archaic species showing a variety of characteristic features.

Whales from space: Four mysticete species described using new VHR satellite imagery
Marine mammal science, 2018 Large-bodied animals such as baleen whales can now be detected with very high resolution (VHR) satellite imagery, allowing for scientific studies of whales in remote and inaccessible areas where traditional survey methods are limited or impractical. Here

Ciencias Marinas, 1996 At two different ecological zones (Canal de San Lorenzo and transitional), located at Bahía de La Paz, we analysed changes in the cetacean community (Shannon and Simpson indexes) in relation to annual and seasonal changes in sea surface temperature ...
