The morphology of the new species, especially that of the elements of the petrotympanic complex, is described in detail. Main discriminating characters are: very short nasal; mediolaterally wide pterygoid fossa; large, robust and prominent occipital condyle; mediolaterally wide squamosal body lateral to the supraoccipital; dorsal bulge on squamosal; tympanic bulla very large compared to zygomatic width; wide tympanic bulla (L/W ratio: 1.24) with the sigmoid process perpendicular to the long axis of the bulla; rounded and bulbous pars cochlearis (L/W ratio: 1.23–1.26); long, slender and curved stapes; massive and square basioccipital process; wide basioccipital. A phylogenetic analysis has been undertaken based on a recently published matrix. In the consensus tree the new taxon has a basal position with respect to the <i>Balaenoptera</i> + <i>Megaptera</i> clade and constitutes therefore a stem-balaenopterid. Taxonomic controversies surrounding nominal rorqual species described during the 19th century from North Sea strata are addressed. Our analysis of the type material of the species <i>Balaenoptera borealina, B. musculoides, B. rostratella, Megaptera affinis, Megapteropsis robusta</i> and <i>Plesiocetus goropii</i> lead us to declare them <i>nomina dubia</i>.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"A new fossil rorqual (Mammalia, Cetacea, Balaenopteridae) from the Early Pliocene of the North Sea, with a review of the rorqual species described by Owen and Van Beneden","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2024-12-10 01:33:01.897972","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+01:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":"Mammalia; Cetacea; Mystical; Balaenopteridae; Early Pliocene; North Sea; anatomy; phylogeny; Van Beneden; Owen; review; new genus; new species ","OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2010,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2018-05-17","DateCreate":"2012-11-16","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":"WOS:000279854200006","VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":1,"DOI":"10.5252/g2010n2a6"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":220179,"PubliDate":2010,"Pagination":"331-363","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"32","Issue":"2","BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":42902,"SerRR":"Geodiversitas.
