Odontaspididae (sand tiger sharks): group 1

Carcharias taurus (sand tiger shark) ( fig. 35)

All six specimens of this species included in the analysis were collected from the western North Atlantic. The range in pairwise differences among these specimens was 0–4, with an average of 1.7. As our specimens represented only a very small portion of the range of this widely distributed species, they were not conducive to examining the genetic variation seen, for example, by Ahonen et al. (2009) in this taxon.
