Some newly described archaeocete remains from the Eocene of the Helmstedt region, Germany.

Adding up to the 36 basilosaurid remains from Bartonian to Priabonian strata at the open cast mines in the Helmstedt region, Germany that were published in the past, ten other finds from this region are described here. Most or all the finds were collected by Rudolf Mundlos in the second half of the twentieth century. The most significant remains consist of a fragmentary lumbar (maybe thoracic) vertebra of Pachycetus sp. with a large part of the neural arch preserved, a radius of a large archaeocete, and a small posterior thoracic or lumbar vertebral centrum of a small dorudontine.
