This gives you an idea of how many jaws we have

| HOW
THE JAWS ARE OBTAINED
All shark jaws are obtained from the legal
fishing industry in the Philippines and off the coast of India in the
Indian Ocean. These sharks are caught for their hides &
meat. The jaws & teeth are sold as a collectible to recycle 100%
of the shark.
We do not support sport fishing, illegal
taking of sharks, we don't even eat in restaurants that serve Shark Fin
soup due to the cruel and wasteful nature of shark finning. We do
not catch sharks ourselves. |

Sigourney Weaver...Geez, I scared MYSELF when I saw the photo I just took. ALL the rows of teeth are active like fish hooks to hold
ANYTHING. What a great jaw for anyone that's into sharks!

| SPINNER
SHARK JAWS
(Carcharhinus brevipinna)
The spinner shark is a
slender shark with a long pointed snout with a gray-bronze coloration and
white belly. Nearly worldwide range. A fast swimming, very active,
schooling shark that often leaps spinning out of the water (hence its
name) to catch prey. It swims rapidly upward through schools of fishes
with an open mouth, spinning along its long axis and snapping in all
directions, then it penetrates the surface after its feeding run. This
species is not dangerous to human beings, although it could be troublesome
to divers when spearfishing. Feeds primarily on fishes (sardines,
herrings, anchovies, lizardfishes, tunas, bonitos...) but small sharks and
rays, too.

of a Blue Shark catch & release 30 miles off the Washington USA Coast
(they are supposedly a warm water shark, though here they are in 1000 feet
of water that does not exceed 46 degrees F. any time of the year).
Scott chartered the boat for research to prove they were here, as the
Fisheries officially deny they range up this far. They chummed
for 3 hours and had over a dozen around the boat, some much larger than
the one in the photo. They also had a Porbeagle Shark in sight but
not on a line. The boat: Misty Blue Eyes.

Found in all oceans except the north
Atlantic Ocean & Mediterranean Sea. Found in waters up to 1870'

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.

| THE
CHOMP OF A BLACKTIP
Scott is a scuba diver and shark feeder for a
large aquarium, working under a private grant studying shark immune
systems. He was feeding a 5 foot female Blacktip shark,
wearing a chain mail gauntlet, pulling the fish back and forth the way you
and I would play with a dog and bone to make her work for her
supper. You can see the bruises on his right arm from her playful
bite.

Friend Liz is a trauma nurse, though she
reports that Scott generally tends to his own injuries most of the
time. She is also involved in his study.
Here is a May 2006 photo of them both, wearing
their shark tooth necklaces they got from us:

GILL SHARK JAWS
(RARE!)
UPPER

LOWER

Highly unusual tooth formation.
The bluntnose sixgill shark, Hexanchus
griseus, often simply called the cow shark, is the largest hexanchoid
shark, growing to more than 5.4 m. (18 feet) long.
Many of its relatives are extinct. The
living species that are closest genetically include the dogfish, the
Greenland shark, as well as other six- and sevengilled sharks. There are
more closely related relatives in the fossil record than living species.
Some of the shark's relatives date back to 200 million years
ago.
Although sluggish in nature, the bluntnose
sixgill shark is capable of attaining high speeds for chasing and catching
its prey. Because of the bluntnose sixgill shark's large and diverse range
they have a wide variety of prey items. Their diet consists of a variety
of mollusks, crustaceans, Agnathans (which is a family consisting of
hagfish), and sea lampreys. They also dine on Cape anchovies, Pacific
salmon, various species of hake. |

KITEFIN (or seal shark) SHARK JAWS
(Dalatias licha)
AMONG THE WEIRDEST JAWS ON THE PLANET
An ordinary looking little shark with a BIG
BITE
(RARE!) relative of the nasty Cookie Cutter shark, awesome tooth
formation! They shed
a whole row of teeth at a time from the OUTSIDE, notice the two layers.
Found in the Eastern
Atlantic, from tropical West Africa to the Irish Atlantic slope; recorded
once from the American coast. Shark size: 40-60” long; 72” is the
longest recorded so far. Color: Dark chocolate, cinnamon, or violet brown
below as well as above; the upper surface sometimes with poorly defined
blackish spots; the dorsal and pectoral fins with pale or whitish edges,
the tail tipped with black. This is a deepwater shark that has an
extremely large liver so it can achieve neutral buoyancy. Harmless to
humans.
