No specimen or photograph exists. Tentatively included on the basis of a statement in Grove & Lavenberg (1997: 100) which states "the only record of a great hammerhead in the Archipelago is based on an observation along a vertical drop-off at Gordon Rocks at 30 m. Although rare within the islands, additional records can be expected."
