Cretoxyrhina, commonly referred to as the "Ginsu shark" due to its sharp, slicing teeth, was a formidable predator during the Late Cretaceous period, about 100 to 82 million years ago. Cretoxyrhina was a member of the Lamniformes order, akin to today's great white and mako sharks, suggesting it was an active, fast-swimming predator. The fossil record, indicates that Cretoxyrhina could grow up to 26 feet in length, making it one of the largest sharks of its time.
