Scaldicetus
''Scaldicetus'' is an extinct genus of toothed cetacean related to sperm whales. Although widely used for a number of extinct physeterids with primitive dental morphology consisting of enameled teeth, ''Scaldicetus'' as generally recognized appears to be a paraphyletic assemblage of primitive physeteroids. ==Taxonomy==
The name ''Scaldicetus caretti'' was coined in 1867 for numerous physeteroid teeth collected in Neogene deposits near Antwerp, Belgium.〔Du Bus, B.A.L., 1867. Sur quelques Mammifères du Cragd’Anvers. ''Bulletin de l'Académie Royale des Sciences, des Lettres et des Beaux-Arts de Belgique'', 24: 562-577.〕 Synonyms of ''Scaldicetus'' include ''Palaeodelphis'', ''Homocetus'', and ''Eucetus''.〔McKenna, Malcolm C., and Bell, Susan K. 1997. Classification of Mammals Above the Species Level. Columbia University Press, New York, 631 pp.〕 The genus ''Physodon'' Gervais 1872 was previously considered a synonym, but it has been recently considered a ''nomen dubium''.〔O. Hampe. 2006. Middle/late Miocene hoplocetine sperm whale remains (Odontoceti: Physeteridae) of North Germany with an emended classification of Hoplocetinae. ''Fossil Record'' 9(1):61-86〕
