Hi, Saw this thing washed up this morning. Does anyone know what it is? First thought is a shark egg of some sort.
Cheers

Shark Eggs
Don't know what type of shark or ray, but I have seen quite a few recently while snorkelling. Large Baler shells seem to love eating them, have seen a couple of beauties having a chew on them. They have been in places that I wouldn't have expected to see a large (adult) shark, so I suspect they may be from a ray or wobbegong or similar?

Baler Shell
Looks like you are on the money Habanero, quick google search shows it to be a baler shell egg case. Always learning something new.
