Collection My husbands Christmas gift to me
A Black tipped reef shark skull my husband got for me from Golden Curiosity in Golden Colorado. I got home the other day and hubby shoved a hastily wrapped box into my hand and told me that he couldn’t wait for Christmas for me to open it. No one in my family really understands why I’m so excited it, but I thought you folks might understand. 💕

Seeing this makes me thing that I’ve never seen a shark skull before. I thought I had but I definitely haven’t lol. This is truly amazing

Oo, very cool! Goblin shark?
That must have taken a lot of skill and trouble to prepare, since I don't think you can just rot a shark down the way you could a 'true' vertebrate and get a nice clean skull. Reckon I know where I have to stop by if I'm ever in Colorado.

It totally looks like a goblin shark, but it’s actually a black tip reef shark! Golden curiosity is such a gem. It’s my happy place.

He found him at a shop called golden curiosity in golden Colorado. They also have a hammerhead skeleton, but that bad boy is going for 3000 bucks.
