The fins resemble a chimaera or ratfish - very priimitive shark relative - order Holocephali - It only has one gill opening - the tail should give it
away - very long rat-like tail with a small lower lobe -It usually has an elongated snout - its bigger that most, so embryonic seems not to be an
option. The elongated. almost ventral pectoral fins are also very characteristic The cyclops look, however, is undefined - I hope it is preservered
somewhere. Marv

I dunno. I heard it's eye sight is poor....so I sent these down there.
Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

One eye
Looks a lot like either side of a hammerhead or bonnet shark's face with some fiddling. Did you handle it?

I posted this on y face book and I am getting a great laugh from it. Just the reactions are hilarious. I still don't know if it is real but it's a
great joke if it isn't!

Freak Shark Puzzles Scientists
http://piscesfleet.blogspot.com/2011/06/freak-shark-puzzles-...
A few days ago I was in the office talking to some guys, who had won a fishing trip from Pisces after taking first place in the Asupesca Speafishing
Tournament held in La Paz in April. In a casual conversation one of the anglers mentioned a strange shark that he had seen in La Paz. He whipped his
camera out and showed me a photo of a very weird, almost unbelievable animal. He told me that a commercial fisheman had caught it. That said, we set
off on the hunt for more information. Apparently this is a bull shark fetus. The mother who must have been a pretty large creature herself, when cut
open, had this strange baby inside of her. So far the fisherman has not been willing to give it up for science but we were pleased to at least get
these photos which we showed to a couple of scientists attending the dorado forum in Cabo yesterday. They said they had never seen anything like it
and we will forward the images to a shark expert.

Bizarre-looking shark caught in Sea of Cortez baffles scientists
http://www.petethomasoutdoors.com/2011/06/bizarre-looking-sh...
Jun 27, 2011
Lots of odd creatures come from the sea, and add to the list a one-eyed bull shark fetus that was removed from the body of its captured mother
recently off La Paz, Mexico, in the Sea of Cortez.
A brief story about the shark is on the Pisces Sportfishing blog. Pete Thomas Outdoors shared the top image with two shark experts in California and
both were skeptical at first, suggesting it was some kind of hoax.
One of them jokingly identified the species as a "Cycloptomus" because of a single eye -- if it is, in fact, an actual eye -- located just above the
mouth.
But Tracy Ehrenberg, general manager at Pisces Sportfising, has been in touch with renowned shark expert Felipe Galvan, who has seen the shark and has
even produced a paper on the discovery.
The paper is under scientific review. More information will be shared here when it becomes available.
