A 26-million-year-old whale skull, belonging to the newly identified Janjucetus dullardi, has been unearthed at Jan Juc Beach in Australia.

The remarkably preserved fossil offers crucial insights into whale evolution, particularly the transition from toothed predators to filter feeders.from Science News - Times of India https://ift.tt/7ABTCa4
