Binomial name
†Vanbreenia trigonia Bianucci & Landini, 2002^[2]

Vanbreenia is an extinct genus of toothed whale from the Miocene epoch, containing only the species Vanbreenia trigonia.^[2] Its fossils have been found in the Miste area of Winterswijk in the Netherlands.^[3]

Etymology

Vanbreenia was named after Dr. P.J.H. van Bree from the Zoological Museum Amsterdam. Its grammatical gender (in Latin) is feminine.^[4]

Description

V. trigonia is small compared to other odontocete genera, and has a shorter rostrum as well, with a length of 90 millimeters, and a width and height of 95 and 47 millimeters and its base, respectively. Its shorter rostrum likely gave it swimming maneuverability to avoid predators and capture prey.^[4]
