Abstract
Obravnavan je večji kos laporovca s fosilnimi kostnimi ostanki, najdenega v Zasavju pri Zidanem Mostu v osrednji Sloveniji. Po pregledu fosilnih ostankov je ugotovljeno, da kosti in zobje pripadajo skeletu enega manjšega vodnega sesalca oziroma zobatega kita. Oblika in velikost posameznih kosti in zob kažejo na manjšega delfina najverjetneje vrste ?Champsodelphis karreri Brandt, 1873.
