About: Eocetus

An Entity of Type: mammal, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Eocetus is an extinct protocetid early whale known from the early late Eocene (Bartonian, 40.4 to 37.2 million years ago) in Gebel Mokattam, (30°00′N 31°18′E / 30.0°N 31.3°E, paleocoordinates 24°54′N 26°48′E / 24.9°N 26.8°E) outside Cairo, Egypt. The specimen was first named by Fraas as Mesocetus schweinfurthi. However, the name Mesocetus was previously used causing a change to the species name to Eocetus schweinfurthi. Since the genus was first described in the early 20th century, several other specimens, mostly isolated vertebrae, have been attributed to Eocetus, but the taxonomic status of these widely distributed specimens remain disputed.

  • Eocetus schweinfurthi (лат.) — вид вымерших млекопитающих из семейства инфраотряда китообразных (Cetacea). Единственный вид в роде Eocetus, хотя с момента описания рода к нему неоднократно относили вновь обнаруженные ископаемые остатки, однако ясности в вопросе об их таксономическом положении в настоящее время нет. Голотип SMNS 10986 был найден в эоценовых породах (бартонский ярус) в горах Мокаттам на окраине Каира (Египет). (ru)
