A short review on Bulgarian fossils of whales
Plamen Tzankov

   During last mounts I have made some interesting discoveries and conclusions in the field of whales evolution in our country. Despite the absence of paleontologists, who are working with the origins of Cetacea here, we have grate abundance of fossil vertebras, ribs, falanges and parts of skulls.

Rich man, Poor man

   In September 2000, my friend Plamen and I went to Pleven in research and excavation of fossils. The fossils in that region date from 15 million years ago. With us came along a 9th year grade class, their biology teacher and a retired teacher from the same school. We traveled with a bus to Disevitza, a village west from Pleven.

More evidences for the existence of whales in our region
Plamen Tzankov

   During last summer I made some interesting expeditions in seeking of fossils' vertebrates. One of them was a trip to our north Bulgarian seaside. In April I was in that region in order to collect better data about remains of whale's origins at our Black Sea coast. After that first trip I'm convinced that if we are strenuous enough, there could be made interesting discoveries in the future. That was one of the reasons for my second journey.
