THIS IS THE EXACT JAW YOU WILL RECEIVE

SANDTIGER (COMMON) SHARK

The Smallt**th Sand Tiger usually has t**th (especially the lateral t**th) with two cusplets on each side whereas the Common Sand Tiger always has only one set of cusplets on each side of the t**th. The Smallt**th 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 Smallt**th 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 Smallt**th Sand Tiger.

THESE SHARKS ARE NOT CAUGHT FOR THEIR JAWS. 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 & t**th 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.

INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS: There is a $93 fee we are required to pay U.S. Fish & Wildlife to inspect the package going outside the United States. I may be able to discount this off for you depending on the size of jaw, though I still have to pay the fee. Or combine numerous jaws and I can discount it off. Yes, I wish I did not have this fee requirement. But it is the law.
