NIGHT SHARK JAWS

(Carcharhinus signatus)

Relatively rare, in 20 years of jaw business we have never had this species before.

The night shark is distinguished by its very long, pointed snout, longer than the width of its mouth. This green eyed shark has a relatively small first dorsal fin that starts behind the free rear tips of the pectoral fins. The second dorsal fin is also small and low, starting just above the anal fin; with a low interdorsal ridge between the first and second dorsal fins. The moderately long pectoral fins are slightly sickle-shaped with narrowly rounded ends.

The night shark typically feeds on squid and small bony fishes, including flyingfish, scombrids, butterfishes, and sea basses.

NURSE SHARK (Tawny)

The tawny nurse shark (Nebrius ferrugineus) is a species of carpet shark in the family Ginglymostomatidae, and the only extant member of the genus Nebrius. Nocturnal in habits, the tawny nurse shark tends to spend the day resting in piles of two dozen or more individuals inside caves or under ledges. At night, it is a active-swimming predator that uses a powerful suction force to extract prey from inside holes and crevices.

NURSE SHARK (Common)

(not to be confused with "grey nurse shark)Ginglymostoma cirratum, is a shark in the nurse sharks (Ginglymostomatidae) family, the only member of its genus Ginglymostoma. Nurse sharks can reach a length of 4.3 m (14 feet) and a weight of 330 lbs (150 kg). The name derives from a Greek term meaning "hinged mouth".

Nurse sharks are nocturnal animals, spending the day in large inactive groups of up to 40 individuals. Hidden under submerged ledges or in crevices within the reef, the nurse sharks seem to prefer specific resting sites and will return to them each day after the night's hunting. By night, the sharks are largely solitary; they spend most of their time rifling through the bottom sediments in search of food.

HUMPHEAD PARROTFISH JAW

Phylum: Chordata; Superclass: Osteichthyes; Class: Actinopterygii; Order: Perciformes; Suborder: Labroidei; Family: Scaridae.

Though most parrotfish teeth are bumpy, the Humphead parrotfish has 2 chiclet-like top & 2 bottom teeth, still effective in biting/grinding coral to eat.

Parrotfishes are a group of fishes that traditionally had been considered a family (Scaridae), but now often are considered a subfamily (Scarinae) of the wrasses. They are found in relatively shallow tropical and subtropical oceans throughout the world, but with the largest species richness in the Indo-Pacific. The approximately 90 species are found in coral reefs, rocky coasts and seagrass beds, and play a significant role in bioerosion.

SANDTIGER (COMMON) SHARK

(also called Grey nurse, spotted ragged tooth shark, or blue-nurse sand tiger)

Carcharias taurus

The Smalltooth Sand Tiger usually has teeth (especially the lateral teeth) with two cusplets on each side whereas the Common Sand Tiger always has only one set of cusplets on each side of the tooth. The Smalltooth used to be very rare, but now the Common Sand Tiger has become the rarer shark. It's because the Common Sand Tiger is a shallow water species, and the fishermen have wiped out the shallow water sharks. Now they have moved to deeper water where the Smalltooth is found, and so we are seeing more of these turn up. So a Common Sand Tiger jaw is now worth more than the jaw from a Smalltooth Sand Tiger.

SAND TIGER (GREY NURSE / COMMON, Australia)

(Carcharias taurus)

The grey nurse shark (Australia), spotted ragged-tooth shark (Africa) or sand tiger shark (US and UK), Carcharias taurus, is a large shark inhabiting coastal waters worldwide, with many different names in different countries in the world. Despite a fearsome appearance and strong swimming abilities, it is a relatively placid and slow moving animal. It is considered not aggressive unless provoked. It is considered the most widely kept shark in public aquariums around the world, due to its fairly large size, its higher adaptability to captivity than other large shark and its crooked, fierce-looking teeth

SEVEN GILL - SHARPNOSE or

Sevengill Cow Shark Jaw

(Heptranchus perlo)

Upper and lower jaw shown

Sharpnose 7 gill is also known as one-finned, perlon, snouted, and slender sevengill shark. Found in all oceans except the north Atlantic Ocean & Mediterranean Sea. Found in waters up to 1870' deep but also in deep channels & bays, and prefers rocky bottom habitats. The Sharpnose is different from the other 7-gill sharks due to the lack of black spots along its body. They grow up to 10' long and 236 pounds, life expectancy: 50 years. It sometimes hunts in packs, an opportunistic predator that will eat almost anything (shark, dolphin, bony fishes, humans). Its predators include the great white shark. This is one of the few species of sharks with seven pairs of gill slits whlie others usually have five.
