Ocucajea

Ocucajea is an extinct genus of basilosaurid cetacean from Middle Eocene (Bartonian stage) deposits of southern Peru. "Ocucajea" is known from the holotype MUSM 1442, a partial skeleton. It was collected in the Archaeocete Valley site, from the Paracas Formation of the Pisco Basin about .
The genus was named after the town Ocucaje in the Ica Province near the type locality, and the species after José Luis Pickling Zolezzi, naturalist, artist, and an important contributor to Peruvian palaeontology.
"Ocucajea" is smaller than all other dorudontines. It differs from "Saghacetus" and "Dorudon" in cranial morphology; in "Ocucajea" the nasals extends farther posteriorly than the maxillae, and there is no narial process of the frontal like in "Saghacetus".
