Peru - Isurus hastalis   (Big-tooth Mako)

This catalog contains exceptional teeth from the big-tooth Mako shark - Isurus hastalis. The upper jaw teeth are noted for their well defined triangular crown and broad roots (upper jaw) while the lower jaw teeth exhibit  slender crowns - all  without serrations. Complete lower jaw teeth are hard to find since they are much more fragile. Pliocene age (4 million years ago). Collected in a new area near Sacaco. Top quality Peruian I. hastalis teeth are always tough to find!

Note - 1) All teeth sizes are slant height unless otherwise noted. Click on photos to enlarge.
