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.

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.
