Dhedacetus hyaeni is a protocetid cetacean from the middle Eocene (late Lutetian , 42 mya). It is the only species in the genus Dhedacetus .[1] The type specimen was recovered from the Indian Harudi Formation near the town of Dhedadi , Kutch .[2]
Description
[ edit ]
Only one skull and some vertebra are known.[3] D. hyaeni is the smallest protocetid from Kutch. Its premolars and molars are about the same size as in other protocetids such as Babiacetus , Rodhocetus and Maiacetus . It has a long, broad snout and high ocular orbits.[4] [5]
The genus name comes from the town close by and the species name comes from a local hyena .[1]
