HORN SHARK Egg Casings from Mexico
(Heterodontus
francisci)
This is Horn shark is a species of bullhead shark and commonly found of
the West Coast of California.
The spines have been used to make
jewelry.
Taken at tideline among
boulders after juveniles hatched in Enseuada, Baja, Mexico.
It is common to see them washed up on beaches. The egg case is soft when
laid by the female; she carries the egg cases in her mouth and wedges it
into a rock crevice where it hardens, and from which one young shark emerges
after ten to twelve months.
Average 3-1/2" long x 1-1/2"
wide
(no shark egg or shark inside)

Shark and/or skate egg case or
casings (Chondrichthyes), from Myrtle Beach, SC
An egg case or egg capsule,
colloquially known as a mermaid's purse or devil's purse, is a casing that
surrounds the fertilized eggs of some sharks, skates, and chimaeras. They
are made of collagen protein strands. Because they are lightweight, they are
commonly washed up by the sea, often found at the strandline, the farthest
point of the high tide. The egg cases that wash up on beaches are usually
empty, the young fish having already hatched out. This casing is from either
the finback catsharks in the genus Proscyllium, dogfish, or a skate.
Average size 3” long x 1-1/4” wide x
1/2” thick.

WHAT IS THIS? A skin with a hole in the middle -
what kind of critter would this be? Actually, if you fold this
in half at the hole, you will see this is an entire shark skin. The
hole is where the jaw went. Sample jaw shown here:
Here is Glenn cutting the skin down:
This is a rare acquisition of a complete
SHARK SKIN including the denticles (the skin of shark is like tiny teeth
that feel like sandpaper which is often buffed off in the tanning process,
this skin is left natural). Pieces of shark skin such as
this were often used before sand paper was invented. These come from the
legal shark fishing industry, and are usually made into wallets,
etc. The meat is sold to restaurants and all other parts of the
shark are used. THE PARTS OF THIS SHARK SKIN ARE ALL SOLD,

PRICKLY SHARK SKIN
EXTREMELY RARE!!
The prickly shark (Echinorhinus cookei) is one of the two species of sharks in the family Echinorhinidae (the other one is the bramble shark), found in the Pacific Ocean over continental and insular shelves and slopes, and in submarine canyons. Bottom-dwelling in nature, it generally inhabits cool waters 100–650 m (330–2,130 ft) deep, but it also frequently enters shallower water in areas such as Monterey Bay off California. This stocky, dark-colored shark grows up to 4.0 m (13.1 ft) long, with two small dorsal fins positioned far back on its body and no anal fin. It is characterized by a dense covering of thorn-like dermal denticles, hence its common name.
Skin is thin and flexible. Some contain
portions of the important LATERAL LINE sensory organ.

SHARK SKIN
(Unknown species)
Most shown front + back; texture like sandpaper, skin is stiff
Shark skin is made of a matrix of tiny, hard, tooth-like structures called dermal denticles or placoid scales. These structures are shaped like curved, grooved teeth and make the skin a very tough armor with a texture like sandpaper. They have the same structure as a tooth with an outer layer of enamel, dentine and a central pulp cavity. Unlike the scales of scales of bony fish (ctenoid scales) that get larger as the fish grows, placoid scales stay the same size. As the shark grows, it just grows more placoid scales.
These scales also help the shark swim more quickly because their streamlined shapes helps decrease the friction of the water flowing along the shark's body, by channeling it through grooves. Also, the shark's skin is so rough that contact with it can injure prey. All of the spines of the denticles point backwards (towards the tail), so it would feel relatively smooth it you moved your hand from head to tail (but rough the other way).
