Mermaid purse Id needed.?

#1 Post by Determined Dan »

Found this on the shore , it's the biggest one I've seen . Wonder what species came out of it. I've looked up shark trust but none look like this. Any ideas ?

that looks absolutely nothing like a thornback ray casing in relation to the image of the thornback ray casing on the sharktrust website.
for starters a thornback ray casing does not have a the curly tendrils, and a thornback casing is flattened and square in shape

i think that its definitely a bull huss eggcase

did you look at the link i posted above..??
