Collection: Authentic Basilosaurus Fossil Teeth

Authentic Basilosaurus Fossil Teeth

Basilosaurus belongs to an early group of whales that represent a key stage in the transition from land dwelling mammals to fully aquatic marine animals. Unlike modern whales, Basilosaurus retained functional teeth adapted for active predation.

Basilosaurus teeth are typically robust and well developed, reflecting a diet that included fish and other marine animals. Their morphology clearly distinguishes them from the teeth of modern whales, which no longer possess functional adult dentition.

Scientific and Educational Importance

Fossils of Basilosaurus play an important role in understanding whale evolution and marine ecosystems of the past. Teeth are among the most commonly preserved elements and provide valuable information about feeding behavior and anatomy.

Ideal for Collectors and Display

Authentic Basilosaurus fossil teeth are sought after by fossil collectors, museums, and educators. Each specimen is individually selected and photographed so you receive the exact fossil shown.

Authenticity and Verification

All Basilosaurus fossils in this collection are carefully examined to confirm they are genuine natural fossil specimens. We do not sell casts, replicas, or artificially manufactured fossils.

Each specimen is evaluated based on:

• Natural enamel texture and fossilized coloration
• Correct tooth morphology consistent with Basilosaurus
• Natural wear and preservation features
• Overall structural integrity

Any stabilization or minor conservation work, if present, is clearly disclosed in the individual product description. Transparency and scientific accuracy are always prioritized.
