Eudelphis is an extinct genus ofsperm whale belonging toPhyseteroidea that lived in the ancientNorth Sea basin about 16-11 million years ago, during the middle Miocene (Langhian).

Distribution

[edit]

The holotype ofEudelphis is known from the Langhian-ageBerchem Formation of the vicinity of Antwerp, Belgium.[1]

Taxonomy

[edit]

Eudelphis was once considered a synonym of the genusScaldicetus, but that genus is now considered of doubtful validity due to the questionably diagnostic value of the holotype tooth, and Lambert (2008) revalidatedEudelphis, classifying it as a basal physeteroid.[2][3][4][5]
