PLANET SHARK
PLANET SHARKS has purchased numerous large jaws from us for display at their location in New Zealand. Here's a photo of some of our shark jaws in New Zealand: www.wildfilm.tv www.oceanzoo.tv www.planetshark.org Now they're adding to their location at the Atlanta Aquarium (Georgia) and are purchasing more for educational purposes there.
These are the SHARK JAWS that we SOLD to PLANET SHARK for the Atlanta Aquarium
Hemipristis Shark 11" wide x est. 7" tall	Dusky Shark 19-1/2" wide x 12" tall	Goblin Shark Measures 14-3/8" wide x 12-5/8" tall; 1-1/4" primary teeth	Goblin Shark Measures 14-7/8" wide x 13-3/4" tall
Great Hammerhead Shark 17" wide x 11" tall; 5/8" teeth	Shortfin Mako Shark 20" wide x 11-3/4" tall, broken tooth in front	Oceanic White Tip Shark From Australian waters, caught near Sydney Australia in 1992, from a 6' shark	Tiger Shark 25" wide x 16-1/4" tall, 1-1/8" primary teeth
Sand Tiger Shark Measures 14-1/4" wide x 12" tall, from an 8.5' shark caught near Bunbury, Western Australia on 12/2/95. HUGE TEETH: principal teeth 1-3/4".

HOW THE JAWS ARE OBTAINED

All shark jaws are obtained from the legal fishing industry in the Philippines, Taiwan, 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 are fierce conservationists. We do not support sport fishing, illegal taking of sharks, not using all of a shark that is caught; 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. We support all conservation efforts for all animals including sharks, and the monitoring agencies tracking decreasing numbers of sharks and their vulnerability, and leglslation to put such sharks on a protected list as needed.

Rule of thumb for average weight of shark: 150 pounds per foot

JAWS ARE ONE OF A KIND UNLESS A QUANTITY IS SHOWN

IMPORT COST HAS RISEN 30% ON OUR LATEST SHIPMENT OF JAWS. DUE TO THE DECREASE OF SHARKS, CURRENT SUPPLIES ARE DWINDLING.

WE EXPECT WITHIN 3 TO 5 YEARS, AT THE MOST, THERE WILL BE NO SHARK JAWS AVAILABLE.

DUE TO THE VOLUME OF OUR PURCHASES, WE ARE ABLE TO MAINTAIN OUR PRICES WITHOUT THIS 30% INCREASE TO OUR CUSTOMERS. HOWEVER, WE EXPECT THE NEXT SHIPMENT WITHIN 6 MONTHS TO BE BETWEEN 30 AND 60% INCREASE, FORCING US TO INCREASE PRICES AT THAT TIME.

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:

Photos 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. Scott, with the Captain of the boat, Lori Pilgrim, holding the blue shark before its release

GOBLIN SHARK JAWS (RARE)

Mitsukurina owstoni

A deep-sea shark, the sole living species in the family Mitsukurinidae. The most distinctive characteristic of the goblin shark is the unorthodox shape of its head. It has a long, trowel-shaped, beak-like rostrum or snout, much longer than other sharks' snouts. Some other distinguishing characteristics of the shark are the color of its body, which is mostly pink, and its long, protrusible jaws (i.e. when it reaches for something to eat, the jaws seem to unhinge from the front of the shark and catch its prey, then retract back to the shark's head. A very weird thing to see.

They are found throughout the world, from Australia, Pacific Ocean to Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean, but best-known from the waters around Japan, where the species was first discovered.

They feed on squid, crabs and deep sea fish, that we know.

LEMON SHARK JAW Negaprion brevirostris The lemon shark gets its name because of its pale yellow brown coloring; at certain depths, light interacting with the local seawater can give this shark a tanned and yellow pitted appearance, much like the surface of a lemon. It inhabits coastal inshore waters from New Jersey (US) to Southern Brazil, Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean in the northwestern Atlantic Ocean and along Senegal and the Ivory Coast of Africa in the eastern Atlantic. Lemon sharks only get 8 to 10 feet long and live well in captivity, thus their behaviors are better know than other sharks. The lemon shark is also known to form loose aggregations and based on size and sex it have been seen congregating near docks and fishing piers during the night, returning to deep water during the day.

LEMON (Indo-Pacific) SHARK

also known as the Sicklefin Lemon shark

(Negaprion acutidens)

A species of requiem shark, family Carcharhindae, widely distributed in the tropical waters of the Indo-Pacific. Closely related to the Lemon shark (N. brevirostris) of the Americas, they are almost identical in appearance. But the sicklefin lemon shark differs in having more sickel-shaped, falcate fins.

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

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.

SIX GILL (BLUNTNOSE) SHARK JAWS

(RARE!)

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.

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. Upper and lower jaw shown

SPOTTED RATFISH JAW

(Hydrolagus colliei)

Also known as the Spotted ratfish, ghost shark, or, rabbitfishes, part of the Chimaera family of cartilaginous fish. Related to sharks and rays in the class Chondrichthyes but separated from them as the subclass Holocephali. Considered by some a transitional fish from bony to cartilaginous.

In Greek mythology, was a creature made of a lion, a goat, and a snake. It is a truly ugly, grotesque and fascinating fish, looking like a rat, cow and rabbit put together. Instead of teeth, it has two rabbit like chewing ridges, and large green marble-like eyes.

(SOLD) GREAT WHITE SHARK MOUNT AND JAWS
RARE!! GREAT WHITE SHARK HEAD MOUNT (Carcharodon carcharias) with a GENUINE GREAT WHITE SHARK JAW This mounted great white shark head was caught by Clive Green in April of 1975 off the coast of Albany Australia. The shark weighed 2622 pounds and measured 15' 9". The actual jaws were used in this mount--the teeth are REAL. The fiberglass head is professionally done, extremely realistic, superb coloration. This shark also has the distinction of being the last legal great white shark jaw/mount exported from Australia to the U.S. under the Environment Australia Management Authority. Copies of the Export/Import CITES permit are included with this purchase. Mounted on varnished solid wood display piece, weighs 73 pounds. Measures 34" tall x 30" wide x 35" from wall mount. Largest primary teeth measure a full 2-1/16" long. Left & right sides. Note the proportion to Glenn on the right, friend Bob on the left. Last views are from the top and bottom. Notice the excellent wrinkling effect on the lower jaw. Close-up of the nose - note the nostril and the ampullae of Lorenzini and the exposed gum surface, again the realistic wrinkled effect. Note the texturing of the surface palate of the mouth and inside of the lower jaw Close up of right quadrant of teeth, and ruler next to one of these principal teeth, 2-1/16": Photos of upper right & left quadrants of teeth: And lower right, center and left areas of teeth: Up to 3 rows of teeth visible, (4 rows towards the corners of the jaw, not shown). All genuine and original. This extraordinary specimen has been in Mr. Green's personal collection since 1975 when this magnificent great white was caught. Due to Mr. Green's failing health, we acquired this directly from him, making us the only person other than Mr. Green to own this. We have consulted with several experts in the field to determine the true value of this most rare item. We were advised there were two ways to do this: ONE being the removal of the jaw from the mount (taking approximately 6 months and $3500 to accomplish). Once removed, considering only 3 rows to be salvageable (any others would be a plus), the tooth sizes would be as follows: Nine 2-1/16", Twelve 2", Six 1-7/8", Nine 1-3/4", Six 1-5/8", Nine 1-1/2" Eighteen 1-3/8", Six: 1-1/4", Six 1-1/8", Nine 1-1/16", Twelve: 1" The cumulative retail value of these 102 teeth is $32,490 (check Sharks page 4 for current retail values) OPTION TWO: Selling it as a rare one-of-a-kind collectible, leaving it intact, which we have decided to do. Out of respect to the shark, we felt this was the most honorable thing to do. $19,500 plus actual Fedex insured freight SOLD-Don, here it is in its new home:
GREAT WHITE SHARK JAW Yes, a genuine Carcharodon Carcharias like in the movie Jaws.

PORT JACKSON SHARK JAW (Australia) Weird "teeth" made for crunching coral like candy, this jaw is 5" tall x 4" wide Pucker up! This jaw is from the PORT JACKSON SHARK (Heterodontus portusjacksoni), from Australian waters. Great crushing power in these jaws, though it's just a medium sized jaw. The third view is from the inside looking out. Way cool!

Dear Where on Earth,

Thank you for sending the shark jaw from my Grandma. I won't let my dog eat this one, but he was trying to when we were taking the pictures. I really like the shark jaw and will keep it in a good spot.

WEIRD SHARK PHOTO GALLERY

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.
