but basilosaurus ate sharks and megalodon is a shark.

Basilosaurus didnt eat sharks larger than itself XD but small and medium sharks

Cmon people carcharocles is 20 m long, weights 100 t and has da strongest bite of any known livin being. What chance would have basilosaurus XD?

am I seeing things or is that bite force less than T.Rex's?

Every link I have read puts these two animals at roughly the same size and Basilosaurus is whale, remember? It's skin is EXTREMELY tough. Big Al, according to your link the T.Rex has a far superior bite force than Meg.

DO u really think tyrannosaurus has a 20 t bite force? XD

This could be very useful

Links r useless. Dat a very recent 2008 pdf
And "whales" is not a clade and is deadly wrong. Some whales r closer 2 dolphins than 2 other whales ._. By da way, basilosaurus is not a an autoceta (crown group cetacea), so sayin it has da same features os modern "whales" doesnt make any sense 2 me
And basilosaurus is 18 m but is very very slim too, while carcharocles is massive as hell and much wider. And with such small head, basilosaurus couldnt damage carcharocles too

big al i agree,there is no way basilo could have eaten megalodon since it wasn't built to do that.

It had a bite force far greater than 235000N which is greater than the power of Meg's according to that link.

What the hell? XD. I used that converter and 235000N is equal to over 23000kg, which is FAR from the T.Rexs' true capabilities.

The guys that did that test didnt seem to realise that megs flimsy jaw couldnt handle a bite that strong.

They were thin bone that wasnt reinforced or even properly atatched to the main skeleton which itself was cartillage.
