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.
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. It was probably an active predator rather than a scavenger.
The specimen displays excellently details. The root and enamel show evidence of restoration.
Scientific name: Basilosaurus SP
Location: Dakhla, Western Sahara, South Morocco
Geological Formation: Boujdour Basin, Middle-Late Eocene Phosphate Outcrops
We visited Morocco in 2017 and visited areas where Nomads dug for Dinosaur fossil - they were extremely difficult to find.

Why are users outbidding themselves?
When a bid is placed, this is the maximum amount a person is willing to bid for the product. Our system will then automatically bid on behalf of the bidder, incrementally increasing the bid up to the maximum to maintain their position as the highest bidder.
When there is an icon indicating 'Automatic Bid', it means our system is actively placing bids for the bidder based on their maximum bid. This may appear as if bidders are outbidding themselves, but it's simply a result of the system updating the bid to reflect the bidders maximum limit.
