This small hammerhead shark (<150 cm at maturity) is distinguished by the following characters: a flat, shovel shaped head without indentations on its anterior edge; cephalofoil anterior margin is pointed (like a triangle) in both sexes and the posterior margins are lobule shaped; anterior margin of males exhibits a pronounced bulge; with enlarged, molariform posterior teeth, the first
dorsal rear tip in front of pelvic origins, and shallowly concave posterior anal margin.; differs from S. tiburo with anterior margin of the head more rounded and the lobules on the posterior margin are not present; precaudal vertebral counts 80-83 (ca.10 more vertebrae than S. tiburo) (Ref. 132488).
