sirenians
The evolution of manatees and dugongs has been one of the most interesting progressions in the Cenozoic. The 'missing link' of the sirenian ancestors was discovered in Jamaica in the late 1980s by Roger Portell. PMG worked with Daryl Domning of Howard University to excavate, prepare, mold, and cast the first four-legged sirenian. Pezosiren became the centerpiece of our Manatees: The Edge of Extinction exhibit.
