Whale evolution
Elomeryx is Oligocene in age, so it cannot be ancestral to Rodhocetus, but it nevertheless makes a good model for the kind of terrestrial artiodactyl thought to have given rise to whales about 55 million years ago at the begin-ning of the Eocene. The proportions of Elomeryx, Rodhocetus, and Dorudon are compared in Fig. 1.
