Prehistoric 30-40 Million Year Old Basilosaurus Specimen -Whale Ancestor
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.

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.
