Brandtocetus , a new genus of baleen whales (Cetacea, Cetotheriidae) from the late Miocene of Crimea, Ukraine
ABSTRACTA new cetotheriid baleen whale, Brandtocetus chongulek , gen. et sp. nov., is described from the late Miocene of Crimea, Ukraine. The type series is represented by three partial skulls with periotic bones and tympanic bullae, one of the three belonging to a juvenile. Brandtocetus chongulek h...
