Offered for sale is an impressive large Basilosaurus tooth from the famous Eocene marine deposits of Boujdour, Morocco. Measuring an outstanding 13.5 cm in length and 5.5 cm in width, this is a substantial specimen that makes an exceptional display piece for any fossil collection.
The tooth is preserved in excellent natural condition, especially considering its locality. Fossils from the Boujdour deposits are well known for being difficult to preserve due to the nature of the surrounding sediments, which often cause heavy weathering, cracking, and erosion. As a result, complete and well-preserved Basilosaurus teeth of this size are becoming increasingly difficult to find.
This specimen exhibits strong natural preservation, with a robust crown and root, making it one of the finest examples obtainable from this locality. Its large size and impressive appearance make it equally suitable for serious collectors, museums, and educational displays.
