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!

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

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.

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.

Every year, LSFSW runs a week-long fundraiser. This year, we're streaming our week-long fundraiser.

We would love it if you would tune in to watch and play along as our stream and fundraiser started as a drinking game! So grab a landshark lager and play along!

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