      Specimen of a fossilized tooth from Basilosaurus, a prehistoric cetacean (whale-like, marine mammal) that existed during the Late Eocene, 30 to 40 million years ago (mya). This piece was found in Morocco.

      It was the apex predator of its time feeding on large fish and other marine mammals.

      Basilosaurus or Zeuglodon ("Yoked Tooth") is one of the largest known animals to exist from K/T extinction event.

      It was probably an active predator rather than a scavenger.

      The tooth type is also known as a “Cheek Tooth”. They are referred to “Yoked Tooth”because its triangular teeth resemble a yoke.

      The specimen displays excellently details the swerving serrations. The root and and enamel show evidence of restoration
