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 !

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 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!

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!!!

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.

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.

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 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.

This unbelievable investment is so profitable and real with ( Mrs. Veronica Adamson) an expert online trader, I read some reviews about her good works in trading and I decided to give it a try which came out great, with an investment of $1,500 and cash out of $ 18,500 just for seven working days. I recommend her to you out there looking for a serious business-minded trader.

Elasmo Morph has been the kindest most courteous and professional man I have ever done business with, and when a huge issue did arise he was there quickly and with such compassion and empathy because of the issue. I will recommend his products and services to every one I know looking for such work.

Exceptional service from start to finish. Great communication throughout, with timely and considerate shipping and packaging.

Simon provides an unrivalled ability to capture the true essence of the specimens prepared. His particular craftsmanship allows for a genuine appreciation of the pieces; often poised in dramatic but realistic fashion and a more comprehensive preservation of surrounding skull structures than other animal articulators can offer.

His reputable and sustainable sourcing of specimens ensures peace of mind - thank you Simon De Marchi

Completely stoked to receive my Wobbegong jaw set and barbel skin flap by Express post from Clean-a-Jaw. The presentation and attention to detail is absolutely phenomenal, thank-you Simon De Marchi, you're the best in the business mate. The process of sending my specimen interstate was extraordinarily straight forward thanks to Clean-a-Jaws expert guidance. I absolutely love this piece, it's pure finesse. The preservation of the skin colour is also out of this world. I'd really encourage anyone with an interest in cartilaginous specimens to seriously consider sending them to Clean-a-Jaw for preservation - you'll be amazed! and remember small is equally impressive, it doesn't need to be a leviathan to be a worthy specimen, all sharks are fascinating whether big or small . Huge thanks Simon I couldn't be happier 👌

Purchased a mako Skull from Simon and he was super responsive, even with the time difference. He held my hand through dealing with customs and was super personable, taking the time to chat just for fun. My skull was packaged so carefully and the work that went into the restoration is so beautiful. I feel honored to own a piece of his work!
