MEGAMOUTH SHARK JAWS

SO RARE, THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN COMMERCIALLY OFFERED TO THE PUBLIC BEFORE NOW
Only 60+ sightings since the 1976 (Navy ship pulled one up from the depths, caught in its equipment)
THIS JAW CAN BE LEGALLY SHIPPED WORLDWIDE, due to the fact that it is "data deficient" (i.e. not enough is known about the numbers and distribution)

INFORMATION ABOUT THE MEGAMOUTH SHARK

The megamouth shark (Megachasma pelagios) is a species of deepwater shark. It is rarely seen by humans and is the smallest of the three extant planktivorous sharks, besides the whale shark and basking shark. Since its discovery in 1976, few megamouth sharks have been seen, with 40 specimens known to have been caught or sighted as of April 2015, including three recordings on film. Like the other two filter-feeders, it swims with its enormous mouth wide open, filtering water for plankton and jellyfish. It is distinctive for its large head with rubbery lips. It is so unlike any other type of shark that it is usually considered to be the sole extant species in the distinct family Megachasmidae.
