INFORMATION ABOUT THE MEGAMOUTH SHARK

The megamouth shark (Megachasma pelagios) is a species of deepwater shark. It is rarely seen by humans and is the smallest of the three extant planktivorous sharks, besides the whale shark and basking shark. Since its discovery in 1976, few megamouth sharks have been seen, with 40 specimens known to have been caught or sighted as of April 2015, including three recordings on film. Like the other two filter-feeders, it swims with its enormous mouth wide open, filtering water for plankton and jellyfish. It is distinctive for its large head with rubbery lips. It is so unlike any other type of shark that it is usually considered to be the sole extant species in the distinct family Megachasmidae.

=================

Progression of restoration:

1/15/24 It was in rough shape - missing 8" on one end and several areas cut haphazardly. Jaw is in 2 pieces.

1/18/24 The good news is that the teeth are VERY NICE. Once it dries completely I'll add on to the missing end of the lower left jaw and put it together.

2/8/24 I had to re-soak part of the lower jaw, soon I can add the missing part. Also some adding on to the upper where it was butchered. Patience!

2/17/24 The jaw is finally coming together. I've soaked areas thre times trying to get the geometry correct. Takes forever to dry. The missing lobe is now being manipulated to mimic the other side which was mostly there except for a couple of inches. I'm also going to mimic the wrinkles in the epoxy repaired areas to match the natural parts. A difficult jaw but should be finished in a few.

2/21/24 It's been a long road but it's finally in one piece again. Now to finish the cosmetics, matching the repairs to the natural colors of the jaw. Wish me luck!

2/25/24 Coming along. Going to try and mimic the wrinkles. They are pretty dark so matching the repairs will be a challenge. Teeth are pretty awesome and in great natural shape. Back in one piece soon. Later that day: FINALLY FINISHED!!
