Systematic revision of a Miocene sperm whale from Patagonia, Argentina, and the phylogenetic signal of tympano-periotic bones in Physeteroidea
(Polish Academy of Sciences. Institute of Paleobiology, 2021-01)
Sperm whales (Physeteroidea) include today only two genera of morphologically disparate odontocetes: the largest toothed whale known (Physeter macrocephalus) and small sized forms (Kogia spp.). In contrast, their fossil ...
A sperm whale (Cetacea: Physeteroidea) from the Paraná Formation (Late Miocene) of Entre Ríos, Argentina. Environment and Taphonomy
(Asociacion Paleontologica Argentina, 2011-09)
Sperm whales (Physeteroidea) are known since the late Oligocene. They became very diverse during the middle and late Miocene (Bianucci and Landini, 2006). They are currently represented by only three species. Sperm whales ...
Diaphorocetus poucheti (Cetacea, Odontoceti, Physeteroidea) from Patagonia, Argentina: one of the earliest sperm whales
(Cambridge University Press, 2019-06)
Sperm whales (Physeteroidea) are the basal-most surviving lineage of odontocetes, represented today by just three highly specialized, deep-diving suction feeders. By contrast, extinct sperm whales were relatively diverse, ...

Physeteroidea (Cetacea: Mammalia) hyper-diversification from late Miocene of South Pacific, new fossils from the Sacaco area, Arequipa, PeruLa hiperdiversificación de Physeteroidea (Cetacea: Mammalia) del Mioceno tardío en el Pacifico Sur, nuevos fósiles del área de Sacaco, Arequipa, Perú

First record of a macroraptorial sperm whale (Cetacea, physeteroidea) from the miocene of Argentina
(Sociedade Brasileira de Paleontologia, 2018-09)
Raptorial sperm whales of the genus Livyatan were described from the Miocene of Peru and Chile. Revision of paleontological collections resulted in the finding of isolated teeth belonging to aff. Livyatan sp. coming from ...
Nasal compartmentalization in Kogiidae (Cetacea, Physeteroidea): insights from a new late Miocene dwarf sperm whale from the Pisco Formation
(Wiley, 2021)
Facial compartmentalization in the skull of extant pygmy whales (Kogiidae) is a unique feature among cetaceans that allows for the housing of a wide array of organs responsible for echolocation. Recent fossil findings ...
