Blainville's beaked whale
Blainville's beaked whale (''Mesoplodon densirostris''), or the dense-beaked whale, is the widest ranging mesoplodont whale and perhaps the most documented. The French zoologist Henri de Blainville first described the species in 1817 from a small piece of jaw — the heaviest bone he had ever come across — which resulted in the name ''densirostris'' (Latin for "dense beak").〔''Sharks and Whales'' (Carwardine et al. 2002), p. 357.〕 Off the northeastern Bahamas, the animals are particularly well documented, and a photo identification project started sometime after 2002.
==Taxonomy==
Blainville named the species ''Delphinus densirostris'', based on the description of a nine-inch piece of rostrum of unknown origin housed in the Paris Museum. The second specimen, a complete skull sent from the Seychelles by a M. Leduc in 1839, was named ''Ziphius seychellensis'' by the English zoologist John Edward Gray in 1846; the French scientist Paul Gervais later placed this specimen in the genus ''Dioplodon'' ("two-toothed").〔Raven, Henry C. 1942. On the structure of ''Mesoplodon densirostris'', a rare beaked whale. ''Bulletin of the American Museum of Natural History'', Vol. LXXX, Art. II, pp. 23-50.〕〔True, F.W. 1910.
