The egg case genera Palaeoxyris and Fayolia, which are thought to have been produced by hybodonts and xenacanths respectively, two groups of extinct shark-like cartilaginous fish more closely related to modern sharks and rays than to chimaeras, resemble those of bulldog sharks in having a spiral collarettes running around them.
The draughtsboard shark (Cephaloscyllium isabellum) is a species of catshark, and part of the family Scyliorhinidae, so named for its "checkerboard" colour pattern of dark blotches. It is endemic to New Zealand , where it is also known as the carpet shark (which usually refers to the entire order Orectolobiformes ). [ 2 ]
This shark is oviparous and females lay pairs of distinctively ridged egg capsules at 20- to 30-day intervals. The eggs hatch after 11–12 months. The eggs hatch after 11–12 months. Harmless and of little commercial interest , many Australian swellsharks are caught incidentally in gillnets and bottom trawls but usually survive to be released ...
The best-preserved specimen of Helicoprion is IMNH 37899 (also known as "Idaho 4"), referred to Helicoprion davisii. It was found in Idaho in 1950 and was originally described in 1966 by Svend Erik Bendix-Almgreen. [8] A 2013 redescription by Tapanila and colleagues was accompanied by CT scanning, to reveal the cartilaginous remains in more ...
During this time, the female lays pairs of eggs every 8–17 days. [13] As many as eight pairs can be laid during this period. The eggs mature for 10–11 months before the hatchlings, known as neonates, can break out of the egg capsule. The eggs have been assessed in recent studies as having an 89.1% mortality rate, mostly from predation. [10]
Egg case with yolk. The swell shark is oviparous, laying two green or amber flattened eggs at a time. [1] [3] Fertilization occurs internally. [5] The egg cases become attached to kelp or the reef with tendrils. It has been suggested that the length of the tendrils depends on the amount of surf action the region is under. [4]

Bullhead shark eggs typically hatch after 7 to 12 months, depending on the species. [8] The female Japanese bullhead shark has been known to deposit their eggs in one location along with other females, called a "nest". [8] The egg case of the Mexican hornshark features a tendril and more rigid flanges, suggesting that egg case design of this ...
