Atlantic Sharpnose JAW

(Rhizoprionodon terraenovae)

A species of requiem shark in the family Carcharhinidae.

It is found in the subtropical waters of the north-western Atlantic Ocean, between latitudes 43°N and 18°N.

A small shark in comparison to others. The Atlantic sharpnose shark's maximum species length is known to be about 3.6-3.9 feet. Reports exist of these sharks living up to 19 years in the wild. A distinctive feature is that juveniles have black edges on the dorsal and caudal fins.

THESE SHARKS ARE NOT CAUGHT FOR THEIR JAWS. All shark jaws are obtained from the legal fishing industry off the coast of Australia. 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.

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.
