Fig. 6 in Pampus candidus

Fig. 6. (A) A map reproduced after Bianucci et al. (2006), showing the review data of world-wide fossil records (empty circles) and the distribution of humpback whales (gray patches). The broken arrow indicates a prehistorical migration route from North Atlantic to Mediterranean, as reported in Bianucci et al. (2006). Note that the rectangular insert (which is the study region in the present study) in the northwest Pacific contains no fossil records in the review in Bianucci et al. (2006). (B) Magnified region in the northwest Pacific based on A, showing a further migration path of humpback whales in the north western Pacific based on updated fossil occurrences of Coronula spp. (black circles). Fossil records in Taiwan are based on Buckeridge et al. (2018) and the present study. Okinawa is based in Neomura and Hatai, 1936. Fossils in Honshu, Japan are based on review data in Hatai (1938 1939). The names of locations in Honshu in the present figure are modern names, whereas those names were old names in Hatai (1938 1939): Yamagata is equivalent to Uzen Province, Boso is equivalent to Kazusa Province, Shizuoka is equivalent to Musasi Province, Niigata is equivalent to Etigo Province.
