| description | Herein, the first find of a fossil whale Cethotherium aff. rathkei is
reported from the Middle Miocene sediments (Badenian) of the West Paratethys
(the Štrbci village, east of Banja Luka and Prnjavor, northern Bosnia).
Although mostly represented by vertebra, the well preserved remains of the
single individual consist also of humeri, tympanicum, and some isolated
fragments of the skull. The find is discussed in its paleogeographical
context, and the importance of the discovery in an international context is
shown. |
