GREAT HAMMERHEAD HEAD
The jaw plus the cartilage hammerhead head has been preserved
for a spectacular one-of-a-kind display
Now Endangered
Acquired from Australia with CITES certificate in 2022
CITES Permit #PWS2021-AU-002156
Measures:  30" wide eye to eye on hammer;
Measures 13" wide outside of jaw
12" tall from bottom of jaw to top of nose
17" deep from front of nose to back of vertebrae
Primary teeth: 11/16"
This head has been obtained from commercial fishermen, caught in Northern Australia, the only fishery allowed to catch these species, although protected around the rest of Australia.  This hammerhead's teeth have not been changed out - what you see is natural feeding damage and is left natural from crunching on rocks, coral, stingrays and as a predator, and from being caught on a hook.
IT TOOK US 18 MONTHS TO GET THIS, fighting with CITES and U.S. Fish & Wildlife during  Covid.  This is the one and only time we will do this.
THIS ITEM WILL SHIP ONLY WITHIN THE UNITED STATES
.
This is exactly what you would receive.
PRE-CITES JAW, we did get a CITES to import it from Australia.
A RARE OFFERING, EVEN FOR US!
