Basilosaurus (Whale) Fossils

Basilosaurus Prehistoric Whale – Rare Fossils of Ancient Ocean Giants

Meet the Eocene Predator

Take a step back in time and land at 40–41 million years ago during the Eocene period when the earliest known fully aquatic whale, Basilosaurus, ruled the seas. Basilosaurus was a giant predatory marine mammal about 50 feet long, and its mouth was armed with knife-like, saw-shaped teeth, making it a fearsome ocean predator in its era.

Fortunately, temporal shifts or archaeological discoveries of prehistoric whale fossils help modern collectors, teachers, and amateurs temporarily travel into the world of the giant of the sea. Remains of the past, stunningly captured in every sample, are a unique chapter in the history of seas.
