M.V. Nazarkin

Abstract. An isolated upper lateral shark tooth from the Middle-Late Miocene Kurasiiskaya Formation, Sakhalin Island, Russia, is identified as an Isurus planus (Agassiz, 1856). This is the first record of hooked mako for Russia, and the northernmost finding of this fossil shark.
Key words: Miocene, Sakhalin, fossil sharks, Isurus planus
