FIGURE 3. Placement of 3D digital surface model of juvenile Dorudon atrox specimen UM 94814 (blue) into the mouth of an adult Basilosaurus isis (reconstruction of WH-74, gray). 3.1, best fit of teeth to bone modifications in frontal view; 3.2, same in right lateral view; 3.3, same after readjustment in the mouth in right lateral view. Directions are given with respect to the skull of B. isis; bone modifications are highlighted in red.

FIGURE 7. Crania of adult Basilosaurus isis and adult Dorudon atrox drawn to scale, with measurements of distances between teeth (in mm). Skull length of B. isis is approximately 113 cm; skull length of D. atrox is approximately 95 cm. The drawing and measurements of B. isis are based on WH-74; D. atrox is redrawn and mirrored after Uhen (2004), with measurements of UM 101222.
