Pomatodelphis

Pomatodelphis is an extinct genus of river dolphin from Middle Miocene marine deposits in Alabama, Florida, Brazil, Germany and France.
Classification.
"Pomatodelphis" belongs to the platanistid subfamily Pomatodelphininae, which is distinguished from the South Asian river dolphin in having a flattened rostrum, a transversely expanded posterior end of the premaxilla, an eye and bony orbit of normal size (not atrophied), and nasal bones not reduced in size but wide transversely. A close relative of "Pomatodelphis" is "Prepomatodelphis" from marine deposits in Austria. Three species are known, "P. inaequalis", "P. bobengi", and "P. stenorhynchus".
