Old-world monkeys had specifically shaped molars, which are called bilophodont molars. Molars are big teeth in the back of the mouth that are used for grinding food and crushing it into small pieces that are easier to digest. They are very diverse in regards to size and shape in different groups of mammals.

The old-world monkeys had molars with two transverse ridges, so the name bilophodont broken down is "bi" which means "two", and "loph" which means "ridge", while "dont" of course means "tooth". So the name "bilophodont" refers to a tooth that has two ridges.

What is one way scientists know that Maiacetus lived in the ocean?
IgorC [24]

Answer The species is known from three individuals, all of which were found in the Habib Rahi Rock Formation of Pakistan

Maiacetus is significant because of how well the skeletons were preserved. Over 90% of the bones from the male were found intact, which is almost unheard of for a specimen this old!

Their skeletons have all been found among fossils of sea-creatures which suggests they lived in the sea.

The fore-snout is starting to elongate. An elongated fore-snout is found in all modern whales and all transitional whales after Maiacetus.
