Pakicetus

基本解釋

The fossil was officially named Pakicetus in honor of the country where the discovery was made.
這個(gè)化石命名為P，為了紀(jì)念發(fā)現(xiàn)這個(gè)化石的城市。
Although limited to a skull, the Pakicetus fossil provides precious details on the origins of cetaceans.
盡管只有頭蓋骨，P化石仍然提供了關(guān)于鯨魚(yú)起源寶貴的細(xì)節(jié)。
Other features, however, show experts that Pakicetus is a transitional form between a group of extinct flesh-eating mammals, the mesonychids, and cetaceans.
然而，專家認(rèn)為Pakicifus的其它特征表明它們是已滅絕的食肉哺乳動(dòng)物（中獸科動(dòng)物）和鯨類動(dòng)物的過(guò)渡型。
