Child picks up a Ray egg case on Wembury beach on the Devon coast Uk, Find one of these on the beach, and they’re pretty easy to find - and chances are you’ve found a SHARK! Yep, these tough, leathery pouches washed up on the beach are actually the EGG CASES of sharks and rays. The long,slender ones with curly tendrils are the egg cases of the LESSER SPOTTED DOGFISH aka the SPOTTED CATSHARK - OK, it’s not a great white but it’s still pretty cool. They’re nearly always empty, as they’ve become detached from the seabed after the young shark has hatched, but just occasionally, rarely even, you might find one with the baby shark still inside - so check them out!.
