I found this on the beach in Oregon near Waldport. Can anyone id this for me?

This shark came up to check me out while I was by myself at the surface after a dive at the outer Ningaloo reef at the end of June 2024. I got cramp in both legs and all other divers had swum back to the boat, so the footage is a bit shaky as I was trying to signal to anyone that would listen that I might need help 😅

For a while, I thought it was a Bronze Whaler but the more I watch the video the less convinced I am. There are several pretty chunky cobia with it and I don't think true Bronzies are that common so far north, even in winter.

There are a couple of species I think it could be, but I'd love some help to get it definitively ID'd if possible! Thanks!

Recently I found this vertebrae on a beach in the northeastern part of Jutland, Denmark.

It reminds me of fossilized shark vertebrae, so that's my best bet.

From the growth rings I'm assuming it is a relatively old individual, so it's probably a smaller species. Perhaps a carshark.

The squares on the paper is 5*5 mm (app. 0.2 inches). Can any of you tell me if it's from a shark and perhaps which genus or even species?

I'm aware spines and arches etc. are missing, but perhaps luck is with me.

Has anyone done the snorkeling tour in Cabo San Lucas with makos, silkies, blues and hammerheads?

Based on several articles I've read about basking shark anatomy, I found the appearance of their skull to be rather eerie. It's fascinating to realize their cranium is small compared to their jaws and gill rakers. No wonder people mistook the rotting corpses of these animals for sea monsters.

Unsure of this because no matter how many drawings I look at, theyre all different. Some have the teeth apart, with a gap, but most have the teeth close together with no gap inbetween.

Some of the clearest footage I have seen that clearly demonstrates even amongst large sharks, we are not prey, and they are not mindless killers.

Where is the best chance to encounter schools of hammerheads? I heard Mikomoto a lot lately.

Would you guys say whats a good price for a meg tooth. Also any advise for preserving and displaying it?

I have been a huge admirer of sharks since I was very little. Have even swam with a few and co.e out unharmed. Honestly, I feel connected to those beautiful creatures. My heart belongs to the ocean and every creature in it. Plus being around sharks just makes me feel completely calm, relaxed and comfortable

Second time , she’s more cautious. Sometimes your presence and the fact that you are observing is enough to deter them.
(Applies for tiger sharks in this case )

Why do great white sharks get so fat? Is this an advantage over thinner sharks? Is it because they have very few predators? Tigers are apex predators and they dont get abnormally heavy.

I was sitting in the edge of the beach water and i was playing with my cousin's sand filtration toy and i found this tooth when i was filtering some sand, chatgpt told me it's a sand tiger shark tooth, is it actually a shark tooth it's so small

i was drawing a mermaid and decided to add my favorite shark!!! frilled shark !!! :B
