RARE,
WHITE MODERN Bramble shark teeth, 3/8" long, two upper teeth.
BRAMBLE SHARK Teeth ONE OF THE RAREST OF THE RARE!!!
Echinorhinus brucus
In 2010 about 200 of these sharks were caught by accident.
NEVER before in the history of shark research, has this many
Bramble Shark (
Echinorhinus brucus
) been captured.
They
grow to a length of about ten feet (3 meters) and has some of the most interesting teeth of all modern sharks! About 7 years ago the same phenomenon occurred with Goblin Sharks.
Today that species has all but disappeared from our oceans. This may be the fate of this
deep water species
.
Bramble sharks are migratory, and perhaps they migrated thru the wrong part of the ocean, at the wrong time of the year.
The Bramble Shark is covered with large, thorn-like denticles, and hence the name "bramble" shark. The teeth are like
RAZOR BLADES
. No kidding.
The two upper teeth come in a cube plastic display 1-1/8" wide x 7/8" deep.
You will receive exactly what you see in the photo,
