Description from the seller

Basilosaurusの臼歯化石 – 古生代レビン頃(始新世) – 優しく保存された海洋哺乳類の歯

始新世の海域で dominant な海洋捕食者のひとつであり、最も初期の完全水生クジラのひとつである Basilosaurus に属する、印象的な臼歯化石。

標本はしっかりとした冠部を残しており、はっきりとした鋭尖と全体的に力強い形態を示す。歯面には自然な鉱化と微かな摩耗・化石化の痕跡が見られ、Basilosaurus をして優れた捕食者であった解剖学的特徴を保持している。

際立つ鋭尖と重厚な歯の構造は、海洋環境での捕食対象を把握し処理するための強力な摂食適応を反映している。

名称に反して Basilosaurus は爬虫類ではなく、古生代の始新世(約 4000万〜3400万年前)に生息していた初期のクジラである。その長い体と強力な顎は、当時の極めて頂点に近い海洋哺乳類の一つとされていた。

保存状態が良く、視覚的にも見事な化石であり、先史時代の海洋哺乳類、進化学的標本、自然史資料の収集家に最適である。
