@hagshatk Possibly. It's difficult to identify isolated basilisaurid teeth, and there are several other basilosaurids present in the same unit: Chrysocetus healeyorum, Basilosaurus sp., Cynthiacetus sp.
nice, im guessing its from Dorchester County, during the Priabonian stage, but you do say its from the Harleybille Formation so it might be Dorudon serratus.

@CofCNaturalHistoryMuseum ok your species you guys have are amazing btw maybe new animals will be ready to downloadable when the time comes
@CofCNaturalHistoryMuseum I see, thanks for the explanation
@featherdragonheartman18 This specimen is an isolated tooth, and we don't have a complete basilosaurid skull to photogrammetize.
