The dogfish shark, a member of the class Chondrichthyes, is a popular dissection specimen in general biology and anatomy courses. It is useful for learning about cartilaginous fish and for studying comparative and vertebrate anatomy. Mature specimens allow for a thorough investigation of adult structures. Larger size is ideal for students working in pairs or small groups.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Large Dogfish Shark Excellent specimens and wonderful quality.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from These work wonderfully for my 5th graders. This is the 10th year I've ordered these sharks and I've never been disappointed. The students start asking for them months in advance.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Sharks! I have been teaching a marine biology course for 4 years which includes a shark dissection. I will only buy my sharks from Carolina. Their sharks are very well preserved and lifelike, unlike shriveled up sharks I have purchased elsewhere.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great learning tool I have used this product for many years in a marine science camp with children in grades 6-9. They make for a great learning tool and the kids always enjoy getting to do hands-on science. The sharks are well preserved and are a great size for individuals and small groups of kids to work with.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Product Very useful tool in teaching fish anatomy and in engaging children in the workings of organisms. Size of specimens allows groups of 3 or 4 to work together easily. Just have students use Vicks vapo-rub under their nostrils so that the formalin odor is not too noticable!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great Specimens! These sharks are a fun and exciting lesson in the anatomy of cartilaginous fish! The specimens are well preserved and a good size for several students to work together on each shark. The bulk pail is very difficult to open. I would reccommend the bags for ease of use.
