A reevaluation of pliophoca etrusca (Pinnipedia, Phocidae) from the pliocene of Italy: Phylogenetic and biogeographic implications
The holotype of Pliophoca etrusca, a partial skeleton from the late Pliocene (Piacenzian) of central Italy, is redescribed. Referred material from the Pliocene of Italy, France, and Spain is compared with the holotype and reassigned to Pliophoca cf. P. etrusca. New dental and postcranial material fr...
