Where does the cauda equina start in the harbor seal spine?

I was surprised to see the cauda equina in the mid thoracic spine while doing a harbor seal necropsy the other day. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a definitive reference on seal spinal cord anatomy. Does anyone know of a source that isn't just a drawing with no reference?
