The 2 m (6 ft 8 in) long creature, related to modern porpoises, probably hunted using echolocation. Eurhinodelphis's upper jaw was elongated into a sharp tip highly similar to that of the swordfish, sailfish, marlin and the ichthyosaur Eurhinosaurus. Most likely, Eurhinodelphis used it like these creatures- to hit or stab prey. It also had long, sharp teeth.
The Miocene Epoch is a period of time that extends from about 23.03 to 5.332 million years before the present. As with other older geologic periods, the rock beds that define the start and end are well identified but the exact dates of the start and end of the period are uncertain.

Scientific classification or biological classification is a method by which biologists group and categorize species of organisms. Scientific classification also can be called scientific taxonomy, but should be distinguished from folk taxonomy, which lacks scientific basis.
