As a result of a systematic morphometric study of shark dentitions, a system of notation for describing the location of shark teeth has been developed and is proposed as a standard to be adopted for use in similar studies in the future. The macroscopic morphology of White Shark teeth has been characterised in order to gain quantitative data which might assist in identification of these sharks from bite marks on victims or objects or from shark carcasses. Using these data, a nomogram has been developed which can be used to estimate the body length of a White Shark from measurements of tooth or bite mark morphology. An example of the forensic application of such allometric data is provided as it applied to a recent fatal attack on a diver by a White Shark.
通过对鲨鱼牙列进行系统的形态测量研究，已开发出一种描述鲨鱼牙齿位置的标注系统，并提议将其作为未来类似研究中采用的标准。已对大白鲨牙齿的宏观形态进行了表征，以便获取定量数据，这些数据可能有助于从受害者或物体上的咬痕或鲨鱼尸体中识别这些鲨鱼。利用这些数据，已开发出一种列线图，可用于根据牙齿或咬痕形态的测量来估计大白鲨的体长。文中提供了这种异速生长数据在法医应用方面的一个例子，该例子适用于最近一起大白鲨对一名潜水员的致命袭击事件。
