Summary

Description
English: Skeletal drawing of Aegicetus Gehennae (Mammalia, Cetaea, Archaeoceti, Protocetidae), based on photographs of bones from the holotype CGM 60584.[1][2] Scale bar (upper left) is 1 meter.

Some parts are laterally reversed (skull, mandible, teeth, scapula, forelimb). Missing pieces of skull restored from Artiocetus.[3] While it is not known whether Aegicetus had a fluke, it is here restored with a beaver-like tail, based on Peregocetus.[4]
