Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| C. M. Peredo and N. D. Pyenson 2018 | Salishicetus is an aetiocetid identified as a unique taxon in this analysis by the following combination of autapomorphies: transverse sulci and ridges along the dorsal margin of the fenestra rotunda of the periotic; an apex of the mandibular terminus positioned halfway between the dorsal and ventral margins; and a spear-shaped mandibular terminus in lateral view. A full differential diagnosis of the genus is listed in the Discussion, following a taxonomic revision to problematic genera in Aetiocetidae. |
