swam by undulating their entire bodies. However, since the transverse processes of pachycetines are nearly as elongated as the vertebral centra themselves, they would be a lot more limited in the movements they could perform. Specifically, the smaller space between the adjacent processes meant there was less space for muscles to contract, which effectively hindered the ability of pachycetines to move their bodies side to side. Because of this, the mobility of these whales would be much lower than that of other basilosaurids and likely restricted to undulating their spine dorsoventrally (up-and-down), leading to researchers comparing pachycetines to manatees. At the same time, research also suggests that pachycetines would have been powerful swimmers, despite their low mobility.

Unlike basilosaurines however, the transverse processes that emerge from the sides of the vertebrae are nearly as elongated as the vertebral centra themselves. The surface of the bones is littered with numerous vascular canals, which give them a distinct pattern described as "pitted" or "pockmarked" by researchers. 1725:. The brief period of cooler temperatures between these may be another point of origin for pachycetines, as it was during this time that the sea levels began to rise, leading to the conditions seen during the Bartonian. This interpretation is supported by the divergence time calculated by Antar and colleagues, who suggest that pachycetines split from other archaeocetes some 43 to 42 million years ago. 120: 137: 809: 746: 758: 990: 821: 834: 2620:
