Species
P. quarantellii (type)Bisconti, 2010
Plesiobalaenoptera [1] The type species is P. quarantellii . It is the oldest known rorqual from the Mediterranean basin. Fossils have been found from sediments of the Stirone River in northern Italy (44°48′N 10°00′E / 44.8°N 10.0°E / 44.8; 10.0 43°54′N 10°30′E / 43.9°N 10.5°E / 43.9; 10.5 [2] that were deposited during the Tortonian age, around 11 to 7 million years ago .[1]
