All fossils sold are authentic fossils, no replicas. Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Sand tiger shark, any of three species of sharks classified in the genera Carcharias and Odontaspis named for their predatory habits and tendency to frequent inshore habitats in tropical and temperate oceans worldwide. Sand tiger sharks are large with stocky bodies that range in length from about 7.4 feet in C. taurus to 11.8 feet in smalltooth sand tiger sharks; however, larger smalltooth sand tiger sharks measuring up to 14.8 feet in length and weighing pounds have been reported. All three species have pointed snouts and large mouths set at the bottom of the head that extend beyond the back of the eyes. Their five gill slits do not extend to the top of the head. The two dorsal, or top, fins lack the frontal spines found in some other sharks. The front teeth of sand tiger sharks are generally large and daggerlike, with a single central cusp and tiny cusplets on each side of the main cusp. In the upper jaw, smaller but similarly structured intermediate teeth separate the front teeth from the side teeth. In both jaws, the side teeth gradually decrease in size from the front of the mouth toward the back. The diets of sand tiger sharks and smalltooth sand tiger sharks consist of fish, crustaceans, and squid; although little is known about the feeding habits of bigeye sand tiger sharks, some sources note that they likely feed on the same kinds of prey. Sand tiger sharks and smalltooth sand tiger sharks are sought after by people for their meat, fins, and liver oil, but, since deeper-diving bigeye sand tiger sharks tend to avoid gill nets and other fishing gear, they are rarely caught.
