HOLY COW! This is the jaw from a
BROADNOSE SEVEN
GILL (or COW SHARK) (Notorynchus cepedianus) See the tooth
"sets" it has? Also a good closeup of the rows of teeth typical
in sharks, ready to move into place when a tooth is lost.
|
Zebra shark jaw
(Stegostoma
fasciatum) Great tiny rows of perfect teeth. |
RARE!! Modern HEMIPRISTIS (Snaggle tooth;
Hemipristis elongatus) shark jaw
- this shark was thought to be extinct till recently. Heidi's
favorite.
|
Nurse shark jaw
(Ginglymostoma cirratum)
|
PORT JACKSON SHARK JAW (Australia)
Weird "teeth" made for
crunching coral like candy, this jaw is 5" tall x 4" wide
Pucker up! This jaw is from the PORT JACKSON SHARK (Heterodontus
portusjacksoni), from Australian
waters. Great crushing power in these jaws, though it's just a medium
sized jaw. The third view is from the inside looking out. Way cool!

Dear Where on Earth,
Thank you for sending the shark
jaw from my Grandma. I won't let my dog eat this one, but he was trying
to when we were taking the pictures. I really like the shark jaw and
will keep it in a good spot.

Here's
customer Suzanne's purchases of shark jaws from us and other ocean
critters in her collection with the new netting that shows them off:
Thanks for sharing! |

SHARK PHOTO GALLERY |
The goblin (or elfin) shark
(Scapanorhynchus, also known as Mitsukurina owstoni)
is truly a living fossil! Thought to be extinct for 90 million years, it
was rediscovered in 1898. This has won our UGLIEST SHARK CONTEST, hands
down, don't you think? |
These sand tiger sharks photographed on the Aliwal Shoal off the coast of Africa
are an orthodontist's nightmare! They can't even close their mouths if
they wanted to! You can see why they're also called "Raggies",
short for spotted ragged-tooth shark. Whatta mug! |
This
tiger shark jaw is
HUGE - this is at the Ripley's Believe it or Not Museum in Myrtle Beach - there
is no measurement on the sign - but I'm glad there's no shark attached to it
anymore! |
The Cookie Cutter Shark (Isistius brasiliensis) wins the prize for the most
MOXIE. This gutsy shark is one of the smallest in the shark world, yet he
takes cookie-cutter looking plugs of flesh from giant whales (second photo) and
have even left similar marks on SUBMARINES! Not to mention serious damage
to fiber optic cables laid on the sea floor - YUM!
Last photo of teeth,
compliments of Joanne Panek-Dubrock from the North Carolina Fossil Club,
exhibiting at the Aurora Fossil Festival, N.C. at the Aurora Fossil Museum
He's a close relative of the KITEFIN SHARK
(look above), great cutters he's got there!

This is an abnormally long tail (5 feet high) of a
Thresher Shark caught
by Zane Grey, reported by his son Loren Grey in the book "Shark - The
Killer of the Deep" that I thought was quite interesting. He
described the shark as having bulbous eyes on top of its head that rotated like
an iguana's eyes so it could see its own tail, and had been seen beating a small
whale to death with its tail while biting it at the same time. |

This Megamouth Shark
(Megachasma pelagios) is only one of two specimens ever
found, one off Hawaii and one off California. The teeth are very small and
needle-like. It feeds on plankton. This shark won the BIG MOUTH
contest. Then in November 2002 I got this photo of a megamouth tooth,
which is quite rare ..
