Abstract
We describe a specimen of Eocetus sp. from the middle Eocene Stockletten Formation of Rohrdorf, Bavaria, Germany, consisting of a lumbar vertebral body and transverse processes. This specimen constitutes the first record of Eocetus , and the first confirmed record of the family Protocetidae from Europe. This new observation further supports the hypothesis that protocetids were highly aquatic and that their method of aquatic locomotion was sufficient for them to spread far from their center of origin in Indo-Pakistan.

欧洲原始鲸科的首个古鲸类记录
我们描述了一个来自德国巴伐利亚州罗尔多夫始新世中期Stockletten组的Eocetus sp.标本,由腰椎椎体和横突组成。该标本是首个Eocetus的记录,也是欧洲首个确认的原鲸科记录。这一新的观察结果进一步支持了一种假设,即原鱼是高度水生的,它们的水生运动方式足以使它们从它们的起源中心印度-巴基斯坦传播到很远的地方。(©2008 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH &KGaA公司,Weinheim)
