}}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.[2] TaxonomyThe name Scaldicetus caretti was coined in 1867 for numerous physeteroid teeth collected in Neogene deposits near Antwerp, Belgium.[3] Synonyms of Scaldicetus include Palaeodelphis, Homocetus, and Eucetus.[4] The genus Physodon Gervais 1872 was previously considered a synonym, but it has been recently considered a nomen dubium.[5] "Ontocetus" oxymycterus, described from the middle Miocene (Langhian) of Santa Barbara, California, was assigned to Scaldicetus in 2008,[6] but was subsequently made the type of a new genus, Albicetus.[7]References1. ^{{cite web | title = Scaldicetus in the Paleobiology Database | work = Fossilworks | url = http://fossilworks.org/bridge.pl?a=taxonInfo&taxon_no=36900 | accessdate = 2018-11-16}} {{Taxonbar|from=Q3008867}}{{paleo-whale-stub}}2. ^{{Cite journal | last1 = Hirota | first1 = K. | last2 = Barnes | first2 = L.
