Lighted and magnified, a jawbone with four teeth belongs to an unknown species of Ambulocetidae, the most primitive marine whale family known. The jaw, acid-treated for weeks before it could be pried from a block of hard limestone, was found at a fossil site in Pakistan that paleontologist Hans Thewissen says “is just full of whale bones.”
