Fossile autentico di Basilosaurus – Frammento di mascella con un molare
Provenienza: Formazione Samlat, Sud-ovest del Marocco
Età: Eocene (circa 40 milioni di anni fa)
Dimensioni: 14 × 9 × 3 cm

Eccezionale frammento fossile appartenente a un Basilosaurus, antico cetaceo dell’Eocene, con una porzione di mascella che conserva un molare originale ben visibili.

I Basilosauridi potevano raggiungere dimensioni gigantesche, fino a 18 metri (60 piedi) di lunghezza, e si nutrivano di pesci, squali e uccelli marini. La loro dentatura era altamente specializzata: i denti anteriori, appuntiti, servivano a catturare e trattenere le prede, mentre i molari, caratterizzati da una morfologia unica e radici doppie, erano ottimizzati per masticare e triturare.

Il reperto proviene dalla Formazione Samlat nel sud-ovest del Marocco, area nota per i ricchi depositi di fossili marini dell’Eocene. Ha subito un restauro conservativo, che ha garantito stabilità e leggibilità senza alterarne l’autenticità.

Un fossile di grande impatto visivo e scientifico, raro per completezza e stato di conservazione, perfetto per arricchire una collezione paleontologica o un cabinet di curiosità.
