GREAT WHITE SHARK JAW #16

#SJ130-16

PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND (PEI CANADA) SHARK JAW
ONE OF A KIND
THIS MAGNIFICENT JAW IS PART OF THE DR. GORDON HUBBELL COLLECTION WE JUST PURCHASED 1/14/23.
HE HAS NO MORE JAWS FOR SALE IN HIS INVENTORY

This famous jaw is a full 3 feet wide (36") x 31" tall

THE BIGGEST GREAT WHITE SHARK JAW IN THE WORLD

Principal top teeth are 2.5", principal bottom teeth are 2.25".
All the rows of teeth are there.

This jaw came from the legendary 20 foot female PEI GW shark (19-20 years old) caught by mistake off Prince Edward Island (Canada) in 1983 by fisherman David McKendrick. It’s been documented by Warren Joyce of the Canadian Shark Research Laboratory in Bedford (Nova Scotia) as the 2nd largest in the world of great white sharks ever caught after re-analysis in 2014, and one of the world’s top five legendary sharks by the Discovery Channel. Measured by biologist Tom Hurlbut to be 5.23 meters long (re-measured and found to be longer at a later time).

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/prince-edward-island/great-white-shark-from-1983-attracts-new-attention-1.2712914

We have a video of Dr. Gordon Hubbell telling the story dated 1/14/23.
Gordon said he asked the guy to cut out the jaw at the dump, he cut it out of the rotting shark 2 weeks after it was buried, cut off the sides of the jaw by mistake. Mailed them via US mail to Gordon, they stunk so bad and were so rotted Gordon didn’t think the U.S. mail should have delivered it. He said the teeth were falling out, the only thing holding them together was a line of tissue. He said there is a remnant of jaw left, but the rest is marine-grade fiberglass, covering the remains of the original jaw which is encased within the fiberglass coating. It was the only way it could be preserved. It is very heavy and has a heavy hook embedded.
