🦈 About Fossil Mako Shark Teeth (Isurus hastalis & Isurus planus)

Fossil Mako shark teeth, specifically from Isurus hastalis and Isurus planus, are prized for their sleek shape, glossy enamel, and impressive preservation. These extinct relatives of the modern shortfin mako (Isurus oxyrinchus) lived during the Miocene and Pliocene epochs, ranging from approximately 5 to 15 million years ago.

• Isurus hastalis (broad-toothed mako) is known for its wide, triangular, unserrated teeth—often mistaken for juvenile Megalodon teeth due to their robust size and symmetry.

Colors vary based on the fossilization environment, with common tones including pale tan, gray-blue, charcoal, and beige. These teeth are typically collected from riverbeds, open-pit mines, and coastal fossil deposits.
