Basilosaurus
Basilosaurids: A Journey Through Time
Basilosaurids could reach gigantic sizes, with some species reaching nearly 60 feet in length. They likely fed on fish, sharks, and sea birds with teeth optimized for catching and chewing prey. The front teeth in the jaw were pointed for catching and holding fish while they had very uniquely shaped, double rooted molars for chewing.
About Basilosaurus teeth
Basilosaurus teeth are famous for showing it was a formidable, fish-eating predator with varied, knife-like teeth (heterodonty) unlike modern whales, featuring pointed front teeth for grasping and complex, multi-pointed molars for crushing prey, indicating it chewed its food, possessing immense bite force (over 1670kg), and leaving behind distinctive fossils found in places like Egypt and Morocco.
