Own a piece of one of Earth's most extraordinary predators. Basilosaurus roamed ancient oceans 34-40 million years ago as an apex hunter rivaling today's largest whales—stretching 70 feet and weighing 15 tons. When scientists first unearthed this creature in 19th-century America, they mistakenly named it "king lizard," unaware they'd discovered a cetacean marvel. What makes this specimen truly captivating is the evidence of raw power: jaws engineered to deliver 2,300 pounds of crushing force, enabling this carnivore to dominate its domain by hunting massive fish and smaller whales. This authentic vertebra connects you directly to an apex predator that commanded respect in prehistoric seas, making it an essential addition for serious fossil collectors and natural history enthusiasts.
