==Work on evolution of the whale==
In the 1980s, Gingerich authored a paper on the fossil ''[[Pakicetus]],'' which he thought was a transitional between hoofed animals and whales. Based on only on a partial skull, Gingerich made a reconstruction of ''Pakicetus'' showing it swimming in the [[sea]].<ref>http://creation.com/not-at-all-like-a-whale</ref> Much later a nearly complete skeleton of ''Pakicetus'' was unearthed, revealing that the creature was a four-legged land mammal. Its only whale-like feature is a whale-like inner ear.
