Jersey Man-eater's Teeth

Origin
The Jersey Shore shark attacks of 1916 were a series of shark attacks along the coast of New Jersey, in the United States where four people were killed and one injured. At the time the sharks weren't identified (The teeth in the warehouse belong to a great white shark) however it is speculated that the sharks involved were great white and bull sharks.

Between July 1st to July 12th, 1916, five people were attacked by the sharks all along the coast of New Jersey, only one of the five survived. The first victim, Charles Epting Vansant, was bitten while swimming with his dog. Vansant was pulled from the water however he bled to death before the paramedics could arrive. The second victim was torn in two by the shark when he was swimming in the water despite being told not to. The next two were a pair of young boys, eleven, who were playing just off an old dock when one was pulled under by what looked to be a log. His friend was able to retrieve the body however at that point in time it was too late and his friend had drowned. Just like the first victim the second boy received a fatal bite, however he made it to the hospital and died while doctors strove to help him. The final victim managed to survive as his brother and friends acted quickly fighting the shark and forcing it to let go. Even though the last victim lost his leg at the knee his friends were quick and he survived. The hunt to prevent anymore attacks was described as the “largest scale animal hunt in history”. These vicious attacks were the inspiration for the book and movie called Jaws.
