They are also the oldest, originating as much as 20 million years ago (Ma). Nevertheless, their fossil record is patchy and frequently understudied, obscuring their evolution. Here, we describe a new stem balaenid, <i>Antwerpibalaena liberatlas</i>, from northern Belgium, adding to the rich but historically problematic baleen whale assemblage of the Pliocene North Sea. Within right whales, <i>Antwerpibalaena</i> forms a clade with two previously described extinct genera, <i>Balaenella</i> and <i>Balaenula</i>. The holotype preserves much of the postcranial skeleton, and informs the emergence of typical balaenid traits like fused neck vertebrae and paddle-shaped flippers. Its size is intermediate between that of extant right whales and most of their extinct forebears revealing a more complex pattern of balaenid size evolution than previously thought.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"New Pliocene right whale from Belgium informs balaenid phylogeny and function","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2026-06-05 01:31:20.534616","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+02:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":"Balaenidae, gigantism, cervical vertebrae, ear bones, forelimb, phylogeny","OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2020,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2021-09-08","DateCreate":"2020-05-29","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":"WOS:000527627700001","VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":0,"DOI":"10.1080/14772019.2020.1746422"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":324646,"PubliDate":2020,"Pagination":"1141-1166","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"18","Issue":"14","BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":144889,"SerRR":"Journal of Systematic Palaeontology.
