Description
Impression of Perucetus, a giant, possibly mollusk-eating Archaeocete which lived in the Eocene of Peru 39-37 million years ago and is considered a true colossus among early cetaceans. At up to 17-20 meters long and 85-340 tons in weight, Perucetus surpassed Basilosaurus in size as the largest of the basilosaurids, and as possibly one of the largest and heaviest prehistoric sea-creatures ever to have existed.
