Extinct genus of mammals

Kogiopsis Temporal range: Miocene PreꞒ Ꞓ O S D C P T J K Pg N Scientific classification Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Mammalia Infraclass: Placentalia Order: Artiodactyla Infraorder: Cetacea Family: Kogiidae Genus: †Kogiopsis Kellogg, 1929 Species: †K. floridana Binomial name †Kogiopsis floridana Kellogg, 1929 [1]

***Kogiopsis*** is a genus of Middle [Miocene](/source/Miocene) [cetacean](/source/Cetacean) from the family [Kogiidae](/source/Kogiidae).[2] *Kogiopsis* had very long teeth, 3–12.7 centimetres (1.2–5.0 in) long, without root. These teeth are found mostly in Florida and South Carolina. In addition to its teeth, *Kogiopsis* is known primarily from [mandibles](/source/Mandible). The anatomy of the teeth and lower jaws are similar to those of the extinct [sperm whale](/source/Physeteridae) genus, *[Orycterocetus](/source/Orycterocetus)*.
