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!

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 !

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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 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.

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
