Simon's works are art, the care and finesse he puts into his work is incredible, as with his knowledge about the animals he works with, its remarkable. I could not be happier with the result of my shark skull. Thank you Simon for your work its truely amazing!

The quality of Simon’s work is unbelievable! He is clearly passionate about what he does and has incredible depth of knowledge, he is a true artisan and a beautiful person. He was kind enough to show my mom and dad some of the pieces he is currently on, which was super educational. I can’t recommend him highly enough.

Julie Dillard

The half-half Mako skull is superb! I ordered a tiger shark wet mount that is absolutely adorable. Simon is great to work with and super helpful. He will do anything that is needed to get you your order. Great communication the whole process. Package was perfectly padded and quickly arrived. I will 100% order again!

Simon is an absolute pleasure to deal with. His work is truly amazing. His results are proof of his commitment to perfecting each piece. Cannot wait to add more of his works to my collection. Highly recommend him for your beautifully presented professional pieces. His care taken to ensuring your pieces are transported securely is further proof of his commitment and dedication.

Simon was amazing to work with. I loved getting the updates and photos. He is professional but also warm and interested in the story behind the two sets of jaws I sent him. I couldn't be happier with the end result.

Simon è una persona altamente professionale, ho apprezzato molto la rapidità di risposta e la pazienza con cui mi ha assistito sia nella scelta della mascella giusta sia nello sdoganamento della mia spedizione. La passione di Simon per ciò che fa è evidente, la mascella che ho acquistato è stata preparata con moltissima cura e in un tempo davvero ragionevole, la spedizione è stata organizzata e imballata con parecchia attenzione. Acquisterò nuovamente da Simon e consiglio calorosamente il suo business.

Simon did an exceptional job with my first marlin. Not only was the work first class he is a repository of knowledge on all things marine (especially but not limited to sharks) and his passion is contagious. Plus was very cool for the kids (and I!) to see his work at the museum, I now feel like I have a bona fide museum piece at home!

I want to extend a warm thank you to Simon De Marchi with Elasmo Morph for his professionalism and timely delivery of my newest addition to the collection. This vicious Carcharhinus Leucas Jaw from a 4m speciman (bi-catch) in Australia's North shore, has really become the crown of my collection. I can't express enough, the prodigious skill Simon has with his craft. My expectations have been greatly exceeded and I would recommend any shark enthusiast who wants to make a statement to consider this man's services.

Billie van de Nadort

Simon is an amazingly talented man with skills few others have. After admiring the work he did for a co-worker on a half-half mako shark for the past year, I have finally been lucky enough to purchase my own piece an angel shark affectionately named Heather. She is absolutely beautiful and I could not be happier. Thank you so much Simon, I look forward to getting more pieces from you in the (hopefully not too distant) future.

Lauren Doyle

I was lucky enough to meet Simon and purchase an exquisite deep sea shark jaw today. He is extremely talented at his craft and incredibly knowledgeable about sharks his passion radiates through conversation. It was an absolute pleasure to be able learn about the piece I was buying and will absolutely be a returning customer, 5 stars isn’t enough!!

Gerard Pipetti

I recently had a tiger shark jaw completed by elasmo morph . The quality of this mount surpassed anything I could imagine. You can see the difference that a professional performs instantly. I own 9 other shark jaws . None compare to the work put into the tiger shark jaw. I will definitely purchase more !

Art Westwood

Wonderful work! Extremely happy with my shark skull.

Chris Dryburgh

I have purchased several pieces from Elasmo-morph over the past few years, and have always been really impressed by the quality.
Simon has always been very easy to communicate with and is clearly a very friendly person, running a business that he is incredibly passionate about. Simon has long been regarded as a credible authority on shark/ray jaw restoration, and species identification, all over the world.
I've had his work shipped to me through the postal service as well, and everything has been packaged exceptionally and arrived in perfect condition. Anyone who is considering work through Elasmo-morph will be very pleased that they did!

joseph majka

Was such a pleasure working with Simon. He sent wonderful photos of what i was interested in and explained how the shipping process would work. Very pleased with my shark jaw once it arrived!!! Thank you much!!!

Jennifer Stanley

Simon has been a pleasure to deal with. I recently purchased a mounted hammerhead skull and it looks incredible. Also, it came packed with the utmost care. I would highly reccomend him if your looking for something different that you don't see everyday.

Andrew Harvey

Simon has done an amazing job at cleaning and preparing my shark jaw for me. Couldn't be happier with the outcome.

charles hickle

great quality swordfish bills for my swords and great customer service

Rhys Fagundez

I gave Simon the skull of a bluefin tuna I caught a few years ago. Now to say this fish is sentimental is a slight understatement, it was my first every tuna, my first ever gamefish (as a skipper), my only tuna to crack the 100kg mark and the first gamefish on my own boat.
I’d had the skull stored away for a long time so it probably didn’t make the job very easy, but the care and pride Simon took in the job was top notch. It came up even better than I’d hoped for, and I actually renovated a whole room in my house around displaying it.
Couldn’t recommend elasmo-morph any higher!

Angela Banks

Simon has been an absolute please to deal with.
So helpful and responds quickly.
Very happy with my purchase.

Jodie Saunders

Simon made me cry.......
At how freakin beautiful the Mako I purchased was!
Fantastic customer service - above and beyond all expectations, from enquiry to thanking him Simon has been quick to respond and assist.
I would highly recommend Simon's work to anyone, the attention to detail and craftsmanship is second to none.

Georgios Karakassopoulos

Simon is just a pleasure to deal with. I purchased a shark tooth off him and in the process explained my situation (time was of the essence). He went above and beyond to accommodate my situation, kept me in the loop with CITES updates and organized safe and fast shipping. The product itself looks and feels amazing, very impressing! I can’t stress enough how well the communication was, despite the fact that Simon works a day job that doesn’t always allow him to answer to calls straight away. 5/5 stars from me.

Brett Davison

Simon's work is second to none, you will not find a better taxidermist when it comes to preserving your prized piece.
I recently had a very large Barracuda head preserved which i can only descibe as "Amazing" when we received it back,It will be something that will be in the family for years and even now eveyone that see's it cant beleive how well it presents.
More pieces to come Simon, we just have to find the right ones !
Thanks again Simon.

Punch Line (pro-ductions)

Simon was and is someone amazing to deal with. From the moment I came into contact through messages with him, he was helpful and explained everything in detail. I highly recommend Simon for all the amazing work he does and just his level of professionalism with his clients is beyond one of my best experiences. I 100% will be getting more items from Simon.

Ariana Lambrides

I highly recommend Simon's shark jaw cleaning services. I reached out recently to acquire some reference specimens needed to support research efforts. Simon was very professional and responsive to all of my queries. I will certainly be a return customer. Many thanks!

Amanda Elizabeth

Simon was fantastic to work with. He ensured I was happy with each decision throughout the process and was accommodating with any of my requirements. I would highly recommend.

Kylie Soltani

Simon from Elasmo-Morph saved the day for us by coming to our aid with shark's teeth for a school assignment. He went above and beyond sharing detailed knowledge about various breeds and their teeth, provided fast delivery of the teeth and was just such a pleasure to deal with. It's rare to get this kind of friendly and outstanding service and we really appreciated it. Simon is clearly passionate about this business and we could not recommend Elasmo-Morph highly enough! Thank you, Simon!

The Process

Cleaning

Cleaning a specimen is a delicate process which requires precision and skill. The entire process is time consuming and once completed, we can also mount the jaw or skeleton to a custom cut perspex board or wooden block with steel arm support. DISCOVER MORE

Restoration

Jaws often come to me in a range of different states, some are discoloured, some have holes or cracks. I photograph and assess each jaw to determine the work required to restore it to its former beauty. DISCOVER MORE

Mounting

With years of industry expertise, you can be sure your shark jaws will be cleaned and mounted for the perfect display. For Australia and International orders, get in touch via the form below to arrange your very own mounted shark jaw. DISCOVER MORE
