FIG. 9 in Neogene and Quaternary fossil remains of beaked whales (Cetacea, Odontoceti, Ziphiidae) from deep-sea deposits off Crozet and Kerguelen islands, Southern Ocean

FIG. 9. — Skull of the extant strap-toothed whale Mesoplodon layardii (unnumbered SAM specimen) showing the relationship between the large mandibular tusks, the depression in the dorsal surface of the rostrum, and the transverse constriction of the dorsal opening of the mesorostral groove. Note that except for the tusks the mandibles are made of plaster, and that the tusks are positioned slightly too posterior along the rostrum as compared to their in vivo position. Photos by G. Bianucci.
