Shark Taxidermy full body mount - Carcharhinus sp. - 24 cm - 37 cm - 14.5 cm - CITES Appendix II - Annex B in the EU

Authentic, dried shark jaw with a width of no less than 37 cm. Given the size, this jaw comes from an adult predatory shark with an estimated body length of about 2.5 to 3.5 meters.
The tooth anatomy displays the classic features of the family Carcharhinidae (requiem sharks), most likely a bull shark (Carcharhinus leucas) or a large sandbar shark (Carcharhinus obscurus). The maxillary jaw features the characteristic broad, triangular, serrated teeth, while the mandible contains narrower, pointed teeth designed to grip. The jaw is in a beautiful, sturdy condition and all functional rows of teeth are clearly visible. A top piece for a curiosity cabinet, as maritime décor, or for the serious natural-history collector.
