Odobenocetops is an extinct genus of small toothed whale known from Chile and Peru. Its fossils are found in Miocene-aged marine strata of the Bahía Inglesa Formation and Pisco Formation. Two species of Odobenocetops are currently recognized, O. peruvianus and the slightly younger O. leptodon. Odobenocetops is mostly known for its large asymmetric tusks, which emerge from pronounced processes formed by the premaxillae, known as the alveolar sheaths. These tusks are thought to be sexually dimorph
