Giant Prehistoric Basilosaurus Whale Molar Tooth Replica – Eocene Fossil Cast
Own a museum-quality replica of a giant Basilosaurus molar tooth, one of the most fascinating prehistoric whale fossils from the Late Eocene Epoch.
Despite its name, Basilosaurus means "king lizard," but it was actually an early marine mammal and one of the first fully aquatic whales. Measuring up to 66 feet (20 meters) in length and weighing over 7 tons, Basilosaurus was among the largest predators of its time.
Unlike modern whales, Basilosaurus had a long, slender body, an elongated snout, and powerful jaws filled with sharp canine teeth and specialized molars designed for catching and consuming prey. Its relatively small brain suggests it lacked the complex social behaviors seen in today's whales and dolphins.
This highly detailed replica captures the unique shape and texture of an authentic Basilosaurus molar, making it an outstanding display piece for fossil collectors, educators, museums, classrooms, and anyone interested in prehistoric marine life.
