(Orectolobus japonicus)

Commonly called a carpet shark with its camouflage pattern, found in shallow temperate and warmer waters.  These bottom dwellers reach a maximum of 4 ft and are usually not dangerous to human unless stepped on, caught off guard or provoked.  "Wobbegong" means "shaggy beard" in the Aboriginal language.  Specimens come from as far south as Australia, as far north as Japan.

(Heterodontus zebra)

Upper and lower jaw shown

Unusual because the front teeth are sharp to catch shrimp, the back teeth are grinders to chew; rows of teeth so perfect and tiny, so MANY rows.  A wonder to behold.

(Stegostoma fasciatum or varium)

The zebra shark is sometimes called the leopard shark and the only member of the Stegostoma family, and are nocturnal.

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 ..
