Περιγραφή από τον πωλητή
Scientific name: Unidentified Basilosaurid - (primitive whale ancestor) - Πιθανή βλ. Pappocetus lugardi ή Zygorhiza kochii species- Canine and Premolar Teeth.
Location: Dakhla, Western Sahara, South Morocco
Geological Formation: Samlat - Aridal Formation
Age: Όψιμο Εωσίνιο (~40 εκατομμύρια χρόνια)
Size (The biggest -pre-molar): 13,9cm
REF.: #J581
DESCRIPTION:
Μεγαλοπρεπή ριζωμένα κυνόδοντες και πρώτα προγομφία δόντια από τον Pappocetus lugardi ή Zygorhiza kochii , έναν τύπο protocetid cetacean (πρωτόγονος φάλαινας). Αυτά τα εξαιρετικά δόντια προέρχονται από τις Μείζονες Εωσίνιες ηλικίας Aridal και Samlat Formations, που βρίσκονται στη Δυτική Σαχάρα κοντά στο Gueran, Μαρόκο. Συνήθως εντοπίζονται σε συνδυασμό με δόντια του καρχαρία Otodus sokolovi (Carcharocles auricularatus), έναν προγονό του Megalodon.
Observations about Restorations/Repairs/Comments: The crown of the teeth its quite nice, except for the fractures that appears to have been restored using the filling method.
Το άνω μέρος της ρίζας είναι φυσικό· ωστόσο, ορισμένα τμήματα της ρίζας έχουν αποκατασταθεί και ανασυνταχθεί με αποκαταστατικό υλικό και πλαστικό για να κοιτάξει στο αρχικό του σχήμα.
Παρά αυτές τις αποκαταστάσεις, πρόκειται για πραγματικά υπέροχα τεράστια δείγματα.
Pappocetus lugardi is an extinct species of protocetid whale that lived during the Eocene epoch (approximately 40–44 million years ago) in Africa. As a transitional form between land and sea, this amphibious, 20–25 foot long carnivore is considered an ancestor of Basilosaurus and represents a crucial stage in whale evolution.
Key Facts About Pappocetus lugardi:
Discovery: First described by C.W. Andrews in 1920 based on fossils from the Ameki Formation in Nigeria. Additional specimens have been found in the Sahara Desert in Morocco.
Evolutionary Position: Pappocetus belongs to the family Protocetidae, which are early, amphibious whales that could likely move on land using their large limbs, while also being capable swimmers.
Physical Characteristics:
Size: Estimated to be around 20-25 feet in length.
Diet/Habits: A large, amphibious, aquatic carnivore with robust teeth, likely relying on vision and smell for hunting.
Appearance: More whale-like than its predecessors, with a streamlined body, yet retaining functional, though reduced, hind limbs.
Fossil Record: Known from jaw fragments, teeth, and skull material.
Relation to Modern Whales: While it was a transitional form, it is unlikely to have possessed the modern echolocation abilities found in later cetaceans.
All of our fossils come with a Certificate of Authenticity. Every week, the issued Certificates of Authenticity are updated in our database verification system on our website.
