Masracetus
''Masracetus'' (from Arabic ''Masr'', "Egypt", and Greek ''ketos'', "whale") is an extinct genus of basilosaurid ancient whale known from the Late Eocene (Priabonian, ) of Egypt.〔. Retrieved July 2013.〕 ''Masracetus'' was briefly described in an addendum by and is known from just an assemblage of vertebrae and a poorly reconstructed skull from 1908. The lumbar vertebrae are large but relatively short (anteroposteriorly) compared to those of other archaeocetes; the diameter is almost the same as for ''Basilosaurus isis'' but the length is less than half of the latter. ''Masracetus'' is larger than ''Cynthiacetus''. The species name honours Richard Markgraf, palaeontologist Ernst Stromer's fossil collector, who collected the type specimen in 1905.〔 ''Masracetus''' type locality is the Birket Qarun Formation in Dimê (, paleocoordinates ) north of lake Birket Qarun,〔. Retrieved July 2013.〕 but specimens have also been found in the Qattara Depression and Fayum.〔. Retrieved July 2013.〕〔. Retrieved July 2013.〕〔. Retrieved July 2013.〕〔. Retrieved July 2013.〕 ==Notes==
