Picture
editI have a picture of a Rhodocetus skull (different species that was discovered earlier) that I made myself and would like to upload and add to a general Rhodocetus article. Also given the error in the title (specific epithets should always be lowercase), wouldn't it be better to make an article on the whole genus Rhodocetus and move this section thereto?

Spelling
editIs the correct spelling Rodhocetus or Rhodocetus? It is spelled both ways in the article! Lusanaherandraton 10:37, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
Confusing Sentence
editThe sentence "This trait is only known in artiodactyls, as all other mammalian orders have a single-spooled a monkeylike species very whale-like, though the swimming style is very different." is confusing and should be clarified.

Find image of a skeletal reconstruction
editThis 2-minute video interview with Dr. Gingerich youtube.com/watch?v=POMjpTSk3no shows I think the importance of displaying an image (in addition to the couple images currently displayed) of Rodhocetus' skeleton (showing just those bones actually found). I've searched and haven't found one so hopefully, some editor can locate just such a usable image. Bob Enyart, Denver KGOV radio host (talk) 20:31, 2 February 2019 (UTC)
- More images are of course always good, it is just hard to get some with the right licencing (so someone here might have to make such a diagram). As for that video, the anti-evolution conclusion drawn from the fact that a scientist revises a reconstruction because more fossils are later found is ridiculous. We once thought Tyrannosaurus had three fingers because the hands weren't known (based on the fact that other large meat-eating dinosaurs known at the time had three fingers). When the hands were found, we revised this idea. Does that disprove evolution? You tell me... FunkMonk (talk) 20:38, 2 February 2019 (UTC)
