07104 - Extremely Rare 4.92 Inch Pappocetus lugardi (Whale Ancestor) Incisor Rooted Tooth in Jaw Bone Brittlestars Brochantitie forms mainly in exposed

Brochantitie forms mainly in exposed areas where weathering prevents accumulation copper ions and enhancement in the acidity of water films

In these sites there are numerous different species of Mosasaurus described in the enormous assemblage of giant marine reptiles that reigned the seas during the Cretaceous

The comparisons with geometric morphometry on numerous dentition rests have brought up the presence of at least two distinguishable morphotypes

It is a very special specimen

07104 - Extremely Rare 4.92 Inch Pappocetus lugardi (Whale Ancestor) Incisor Rooted Tooth in Jaw Bone Brittlestars Brochantitie forms mainly in exposedPappocetus is a protocetid and a large amphibious aquatic carnivore. Pappocetus is also an ancestor of Basilosaurus. Rare specimen from an early evolutionary stage of the modern whale. In the phosphate basins of the Moroccan Western Sahara, the fossil record of these enormous vertebrates is very well represented, of this type of cetaceans that speak of an evolutionary transition from land to sea. The protocetids had large fore limbs and hindlimbs that
