Summary
{{Information
|description=
Pakicetidae are primarily found in the lower Kuldana Formation,[1] but have also been found further up, with some species of Pakicetus overlapping the geological range of the remingtonocetid Attockicetus.[2]
- Pakicetus was previously dated to 52 million years,[3] but have subsequently been dated to 48 million years.[4]
- Ichthyolestes is contemporaneous to Pakicetus.[2]
- Nalacetus is contemporaneous to Pakicetus.[2]
Ambulocetidae is estimated to have lived about 52-49 million years ago.[5]
- Himalayacetus is dated to 53.5 million years.[4]
- Gandakasia stems from a layer below the remains of Ambulocetus.[2]
- Ambulocetus is dated to 48-47 million years.[6]
Remingtonocetidae is dated to 49-43 million years ago.[5]
- Dalanistes dates to 46.5-46 million years ago.[7]
- Remingtonocetus dates to 46.5-46 million years ago.[7]
- Kutchicetus dates to 46-43 million years ago.[5] fossil remains stem from Harudi Formation in India, considered to be from the Lutetian, about 46-42 million years (or possibly 43-41 million years).[8]
- Andrewsiphius fossil remains stem from Harudi Formation in India, considered to be from the Lutetian, about 6-42 million years (or possibly 43-41 million years).[8]
- Attockicetus fossil range in Kuldana Formation overlap with late Pakicetus and precede as well as exceed that of Ambulocetus.[2]
- Rayanistes[9]
Protocetidae consist of several genera spanning the Middle Eocene, roughly 49-37 million years ago.[10] Aegicetus expand the ending date to 35 million years ago.
- Maiacetus is the oldest protocetid, dated to 47.5 million years.[10]
- Artiocetus 47 million years.[6]
- Rodhocetus 47-46.5 million years.[11][6]
- Tacracetus 46.5-46 million years[7] (not included in the diagram).
- Gaviacetus 46.5-46 million years.[7]
- Protocetus 46-45 million years.[11]
- Qaisracetus have been given a date of 43 million years.[12]
- Peregocetus 42.6 million years.[13]
- Natchitochia are known from fossils dug up in Louisiana, USA. The holotype fossil (USNM 16805) was found in Milams members layers of Cook Mountain Formation[14] (dated to Early Bartonian).[15] The Milams members layers is believed to have been laid down 41.3-39.5 million years ago.[16] The specimen MMNS VP-48-49 was found in the lowest part of the Milams (Archusa Marl member).[17] This would give it a date of about 41 millon years.
- Aegypteocetus is dated to 41-40 million years[18]
- Georgiacetus has been given dates of 41-40 million years[19] or 41-38 million years.[5]
- Aegicetus is the protocetid with the most recent date of 35 million years.[20]
Basilosauridae have been dated to 40-34 million years,[10] with the Priabonian Cynthiacetus and Saghacetus as the most recent genera.[21] An isolated jawbone (MLP 11-II-21-3) found at Seymour Island (Antarctica) in 2011 could potentially push back the temporal rage of the family.[22]
- MLP 11-II-21-3 is a specimen consisting of a single jawbone found in Antarctica. It was first said to be 49 million years,[23] but it has been difficult to decide an age of the rocks in which it was found.[22] In 2019, it was given an age of 46-40 million years.[24]
- USNM 310633 (dated to 42 million years)[25] was originally described as a protocetid and named Eocetus wardii by Mark Uhen 1999.[26]It was re-classified in 2013 to a new genus of basilosaurid, Basilotritus,[27] and subsequently to Pachycetus[28]
- Tutcetus have been dated to the Early Bartonian (41 million years ago) and described as "one of the oldest [basilosaurid] records worldwide".[29]
- Basilosaurus fossils have been assigned to the Priabonian and Bartonian stages of Eocene, 40-37 million years ago.[6][30]
- Perucetus have been dated to 38 million years.[31]
- Dorudon are stated by some sources to be 37 million years old,[6] while others gives a date of 41-40 million years.[32]
