Mako

Fossil mako sharks, belonging to the genus Isurus, were formidable predators that existed millions of years ago. They roamed the oceans during the Cenozoic era, with some species dating back as far as the Early Miocene. These ancient sharks were characterized by their sleek bodies and formidable teeth. Mako shark teeth, both modern and fossilized, are renowned for their serrated edges and triangular shape, perfect for slicing through prey such as fish and marine mammals. Fossil specimens of mako shark teeth have been discovered worldwide, providing valuable insights into the evolutionary history and ecology of these apex predators. Their fossils contribute to our understanding of prehistoric marine ecosystems and the adaptations of ancient marine life.
