Figure 14. Preferred phylogenetic tree showing position of Titanotaria orangensis n. gen. et sp. (OCPC 11141).

A stratigraphically-constrained strict consensus of 27 trees from the analysis with ordered characters. Outgroups (non-odobenids) not shown. Node- (circle) and branch-based (semicircle) phylogenetic names and bootstrap/decay values indicated. The length of ranges indicates age uncertainty for the formation, not taxon duration, with tick marks indicating the limits of specific units. In cases where formation ages do not overlap we show a known range (thick line). Taxa that do not occur in East Pacific formations are dark grey. Non-analyzed congeners indicated by dashed lines, with Pliopedia pacifica placed near the Odobenini. The lineage of Valenictus is extended to accommodate a specimen from the Purisima Formation. Protodobenus japonicus is sister to Odobenini in some trees.
