From Wikipedia

Orcinus meyeri is an extinct species of Orcinus (killer whales) found in Early Miocene deposits of southern Germany, known from two jaw fragments and 18 isolated teeth. It was originally described as Delphinus acutidens in 1859, but it was reclassified in 1873. Its validity is disputed, and it may be synonymous with the ancient sperm whale Physeterula dubusi. It was found in the Alpine town of Stockach in the Molasse basin, which was a coastal area with strong tidal currents.
