Willungacetus baleen whale of the family Aetiocetidae known from the Oligocene of Australia (at Port Willunga , 35°18′S 138°30′E / 35.3°S 138.5°E / -35.3; 138.5 52°54′S 133°42′E / 52.9°S 133.7°E / -52.9; 133.7 [1] [2] [3]
Neville S. Pledge first visited the type locality in 1983 and collected two boulders. These two rocks, however, were forgotten until 2001 when a partial vertebra were discovered within. The site was subsequently revisited and another specimen, a partial cranium, was discovered. Pledge referred a radius, collected from the same cliff in 1994, to his newly named species.[4]
Pledge provisionally assigned Willungacetus to Aetiocetidae, but this assignment still needs to be confirmed.[5]
