Isurus desori, an extinct shortfin mako shark from the Eocene epoch (56–33.9 million years ago), was a fast-swimming predator related to modern makos and great whites. Its fossils have been found worldwide, including Europe, North Africa, North America, and Asia, indicating a widespread marine habitat.

Reaching 10 to 15 feet (3–4.5 meters) in length, it had a streamlined body and broader teeth than today’s makos, suggesting a varied diet.
