Now it is kept in the Museo<br />Regionale di Storia Naturale di Torino, identified with<br />the catalogue number MGPT PU13884. It consists of an<br />incomplete skull, incomplete mandible, all seven cervical<br />vertebrae, 12 thoracic vertebrae and five lumbar vertebrae,<br />nine right ribs and 11 left ribs more or less complete.<br />Portis (1885) referred this fossil dolphin to the<br />extant genus Steno (Delphinidae, Odontoceti) and<br />described it as holotype of the fossil species Steno bellardii.<br />More recently, Bianucci (1996) assigned the same<br />specimen to a new genus named Astadelphis and considered<br />‘Steno bellardii’ an older synonym of the congeneric<br />‘Steno’ gastaldii, another species, previously described,<br />from the Pliocene sediments near Asti (Brandt 1874).<br />Hence, Bianucci (1996) assigned these two fossils to the<br />same species (Astadelphis gastaldii). The dolphin fossil<br />genus Astadelphis is known only from the Pliocene<br />deposits of Piedmont and shares some morphological<br />and probably phylogenetic affinities with the extant Sousa<br />and Sotalia."David Bressanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17650115671464472095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1855182813996089758.post-8616439787603820712010-03-22T13:30:53.396-07:002010-03-22T13:30:53.396-07:00Bene!
