Cetotherium ("whale beast") is an extinct genus of baleen whales from the family Cetotheriidae. [2] The family Cetotheriidae and the genus Cetotherium (sensu lato) have been used as wastebaskets for all kinds of baleen whales, most notably by Brandt 1873, Spassky (1954) and Mčedlidze 1970.

We re-describe Cetotherium riabinini, a little-known baleen whale from the Late Miocene of the Eastern Paratethys represented by an exceptionally well-preserved skull and partial skeleton. C. riabinini is shown to be closely related to C. rathkii, the only other member of the genus.

Cetotheriidae is a family of baleen whales (parvorder Mysticeti). [1] . The family is known to have existed from the Late Oligocene to the Early Pleistocene before going extinct.

2013年10月22日 · Cetotherium represents one of the earlier members of the Mysticeti,‭ ‬which are more commonly known as baleen whales.‭ ‬The very first whales where predators that had pointed teeth for catching and killing other marine creatures such as fish and even other mammals.‭ ‬Later whales like Cetotherium diversified to take advantage of an ...

2024年3月13日 · Cetotheriidae is a family of baleen whales that went nearly extinct during the Pleistocene (excluding Caperea marginata). For a long time, the Cetotheriidae family has been seen as a problematic clade, but in the past two decades there have been various studies trying to resolve the phylogeny of this group.

Abstract: Nine taxa of Miocene baleen whales were described from the Black Sea region under the name Cetother-ium before 1951, and a further four closely related species rep-resenting three...

Here, we describe a new species of archaic cetotheriid, Tiucetus rosae, from the Miocene of Peru.

They are one of the largest cetacean 'families,' the genus idae) and is ranging Cetotherium (the type genus of the family. ever, those characters traditionally regarded as being diagnos- consensus regarding the phylogeny of other 'cetotheres.' was recovered de Muizon, from the earliest Late Miocene of Gunma Pre- 2001; Kimura and Ozawa, 2002).

2016年10月19日 · Nine taxa of Miocene baleen whales were described from the Black Sea region under the name Cetotherium before 1951, and a further four closely related species representing three genera have been added in recent years. This …
