Saghacetus

Saghacetus is an extinct genus of basilosaurid early whale, fossils of which have been found in the Upper Eocene (middle Priabonian, 37.2 to 33.9 million years ago) Qasr el Sagha Formation, Egypt (29°42′N 30°48′E / 29.7°N 30.8°E, paleocoordinates 25°00′N 26°42′E / 25.0°N 26.7°E). Saghacetus is smaller than its contemporary Stromerius, both of which are smaller than the older Dorudon.
