Aglaocetus

Aglaocetus is a genus of extinct baleen whales known from the Miocene of Patagonia, the US Eastern Seaboard, Japan and the Low Countries. Mesocetus and Aglaocetus are Miocene cetaceans, Miocene mammals of Europe, Prehistoric cetacean genera and Prehistoric cetacean stubs.

See Mesocetus and Austria

Baleen whale

Baleen whales, also known as whalebone whales, are marine mammals of the parvorder Mysticeti in the infraorder Cetacea (whales, dolphins and porpoises), which use keratinaceous baleen plates (or "whalebone") in their mouths to sieve planktonic creatures from the water.

Serravallian

The Serravallian is, in the geologic timescale, an age or a stage in the middle Miocene Epoch/Series, which spans the time between 13.82 Ma and 11.63 Ma (million years ago).

See Mesocetus and Serravallian

Tranatocetus

Tranatocetus is an extinct genus of mysticete from the late Miocene (Tortonian) of Jutland, Denmark. Mesocetus and Tranatocetus are Miocene cetaceans, Miocene mammals of Europe and Prehistoric cetacean genera.

See Mesocetus and Tranatocetus

Type species

In zoological nomenclature, a type species (species typica) is the species name with which the name of a genus or subgenus is considered to be permanently taxonomically associated, i.e., the species that contains the biological type specimen (or specimens).
