Hemipristis
is a genus of weasel shark, family Hemigaleidae.  It contains one extant species, the snaggletooth shark (
H. pristis
), as well as several extinct species.
Hemipristis
has two distinct type of teeth in each section of its jaw. The ones on the upper jaw act like knives, cutting through the flesh of the prey, while the pointed ones on the bottom act like forks, spearing the prey and holding it down.
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 & 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 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.
