Scientists have identified a new species of ancient whale, ‘Janjucetus dullardi’, from a 26-million-year-old fossil found near Jan Juc on the Surf Coast.

About the size of a dolphin, the sharp-toothed predator had large eyes and a short snout, making it a fearsome hunter in the region’s warm, shallow seas.

Discovered by local resident Ross Dullard in 2019, the fossil is the first mammalodontid to preserve both teeth and inner ear structures, offering rare insights into early whale evolution.

Researchers say the find sheds light on how ancient whales adapted to warmer oceans, knowledge that could help understand marine life’s response to climate change.
