Projektionstyps
Projektionstyps is an extinct family of mid-to-large-sized odontocete cetaceans that lived during the late Miocene to early Pliocene epochs. The family is characterized by the presence of cone-like projections on the dorsal surface of their heads, which are thought to be related to echo-location and social behavior.
The first known species of the family was Projektionstyps atlanticus, discovered in the late 19th century in
These cetaceans were relatively large, with adult Projektionstyps species estimated to be around 10-15 meters in
Studies on Projektionstyps fossils have provided valuable insights into the evolution of cetaceans and their sensory
