Fossil Mako (Desori) Teeth

Desori shark teeth are fossil teeth from an extinct species of mako shark called Isurus desori. These sharks lived during the Oligocene and Miocene epochs, from about 34 to 11 million years ago. They were large sharks, with adults reaching up to 14 feet in length. Desori sharks had long, narrow bodies and powerful jaws with sharp teeth. They were apex predators, and their diet likely consisted of fish, squid, and other marine animals.
Desori shark teeth are sought-after fossils by collectors for their large size, sharp serrations, and unique shape. They are typically found in dark brown or black, with gray enamel. Desori shark teeth can be found in marine fossil deposits all over the world, but they are particularly common in the United States, especially in the Chesapeake Bay region.
