Fossil teeth of Isurus have been reported from as early as the Late Cretaceous.  However, they are likely to be of a shark with a similar dentition, Cretoxyrhina.  At one point they were considered to be the same (now defunct) genus Oxyrhina, and modern referrals to Isurus in the Cretaceous are scant. The earliest appearance of Isurus proper seems to be during the Oligocene with Isurus desori
