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.

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. Click on our store tag for MANY more shark items!
