| Abstract: | The taxonomy and stratigraphic location of new remains of an ancient whale (Basilosaurus) discovered on the western coast of the Tsymlyansk water reservoir are considered. The Kharkov Formation deposits containing
these remains are described, and their age is substantiated. The Basilosaurus remains discovered in the Lower Don area indicate that in the Late Eocene the ocean covered the southern part of the Russian
Platform almost entirely. |
