Callorhinus gilmorei is an extinct species of fur seal that lived in Japan and western North America during the Pliocene and Early Pleistocene. [1] [2]
Callorhinus gilmorei was similar to its close relative, the living northern fur seal (C. ursinus). It mainly differed in having more primitive dental features, such as double-rooted cheek teeth, and in the structure of the mandible. [3]
