REQUIEM SHARKS. FAMILY CARCHARHINIDAE Figure 13.—Sharp nosed shark ( ), female, about 31 inches long, from Bahamas. From Bigelow and Schroeder. Drawing by E. N. Fischer. This little shark is separable from any other carcharhinid that has yet been reported from the Gulf of Maine or that is likely to be, by its upper and lower teeth which are perfectly smooth along the edges from tip to base, combined with a so-called "labial furrow" of considerable length running forward along each side of each jaw from the corner of the mouth toward the nostril. This last character, while not conspicuous, is a precise one.
