Summary

Description
English: Image showing the size of the Eocene protocetid Georgiacetus compared to a human female (1.75 meters tall). The Georgiacetus silhouette is based on pictures and measurements of the holotype GSM 350, which consist of a fairly complete skull, partial lower jaw, several cervical, thoracic, lumbar and sacral vertebrae as well as innominates and several ribs. The limbs are unknown, as are most of the tail.[1][2]
