Basilosaurus was first discovered in the early 19th century, with significant contributions from American paleontologist Richard Harlan, who described the species in 1834. The fossils were initially found in the southern United States, particularly in Alabama and Mississippi. Harlan named it "Basilosaurus," meaning "king lizard," due to its large size and reptilian appearance, despite being a prehistoric whale.
