From the Thewissen Nature (2001) paper:

Skeletons of the pakicetid cetaceans Pakicetus (a) and Ichthyolestes (b). Reconstructions are based on fossils from H-GSP Locality 62 in the Eocene of Pakistan. Unknown elements have not been reconstructed.

Good point.

I'm surprised nobody pounced on my mistaking the dorsal skull surface for the ventral in post 457. I noticed it right after I posted it, then went out to eat expecting to have to do a lot more crow-eating when I got back.

Paki had a small bump on the top of the head called a nuchal crest. It's clearly labelled in the Thewissen picture, but it's in the area missing in the UCMP replica. (Gee, you'd think those fakers would have gone ahead and filled it in.)

These are the bones

These are the reconstructions from those bones

Those from Pakicetidae
