Great White Shark Taxidermy full body mount - Carcharodon...

The great white shark (Carcharodon carcharias) is a cartilaginous fish in the Lamnidae family. The sole living representative of the genus Carcharodon, this shark is the largest predatory fish currently on the planet, as well as the third-largest fish overall, after the whale shark and the elephant shark. The term Carcharodon comes from Ancient Greek karcharódōn (composed of kárcharos, meaning "sharp", with odóntos, meaning "tooth"). KARCHARÍAS, on the other hand, means "shark", from which the final meaning is deduced: "shark with sharp teeth". The mouth of the great white is equipped with several rows of teeth: triangular and serrated in the upper jaw to shred prey, long and pointed in the lower jaw to stab and hold prey. Exceptional central tooth of the lower jaw. Dimensions: 36 mm x 22 mm. Perfectly defined serration, glossy enamel of the highest quality, tooth completely free of imperfections. Very beautiful! Auction item absolutely to be won. Sale limited to European countries only.
