Families represented in the Order Cetacea include Platanistidae, Physeteridae, Monodontidae, Delphinidae, Phocaenidae, and Balaenopteridae. Families represented in the Order Pinnipedia include Otariidae, Odobenidae, and Phocidae. The single family Trichechidae represents the Order Sirenia in the collection.

The latter category gives information on the condition of the skin and skeletal material, and also explains the availability of the specimen.
