Shark Jaw Cleaning

Services

We provide a range of services which are available internationally. Founder, Simon De Marchi, has worked with all types of sharks: from white sharks to frilled sharks.

Cleaning a shark jaw is a delicate process which requires precision and skill. The entire process takes a few months and once completed, we can also mount the jaw to a custom cut perspex board. DISCOVER MORE

Shark Jaw 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

Jaw 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

Skulls and Skeletons

The cleaning and preparation of shark skulls and skeletons is a very delicate and time consuming process due sharks being composed entirely of cartilage, with no bones unlike other fish. DISCOVER MORE

About

Simon De Marchi – Shark Jaw Technician

For more than 30 years, I have been studying and preparing shark specimens for collectors.

I am a member of the Oceania Chondrichthyan Society, based in Australia, which facilitates the education, conservation and scientific research of Chondrichthyan fishes, a group that covers sharks, skates, rays and chimaeras.

Currently I am a forensic investigator with the GSAF (Global Shark Attack File), assisting with the study of bite marks when a shark attack occurs world-wide.

I am also a member of the Shark Research Committee, based in the US, as well as the AMCS – The Australian Marine Conservation Society.
