Fig. 7 in A new Beneziphius beaked whale from the ocean floor off Galicia, Spain and biostratigraphic reassessment of the type species

Fig. 7. Simplified palaeogeographic map of NW Europe, showing coastlines and the limits of the continental shelf (light grey) during the Serravallian– Tortonian (late middle to early late Miocene). Black star is the type locality of Beneziphius cetariensis sp. nov. (A Selva fishing ground) and white star is the type locality of B. brevirostris (Antwerp, Belgium). Other fossil ziphiid species are listed whose corresponding genera are found in at least two regions. Map redrawn from Scotese (2014). Note that the North Atlantic–Mediterranean connection was probably more complex than illustrated in this schematic map (e.g., Kouwenhoven and van der Zwaan 2006).
