Late Pliocene occurrence of Hemisyntrachelus (Odontoceti, Delphinidae) in the southern North Sea
Deinsea, 11:29-45.
Late Pliocene Hemisyntrachelus is reported from the southern North Sea, marking the youngest
and northernmost occurrence of the genus. The mandibular morphology of the North Sea fossils is
compared to Pliocene Hemisyntrachelus from Italy, the status and characteristics of the genus are
discussed and arguments for the inclusion of Early Pliocene Tursiops oligodon from Peru in this genus
are presented.
