 The whole item:


Dessicated Sand shark found on a beach on the West coast of South Africa. Yes, it did rattle because of the sand in it!

This is the underside of it and those are not eye sockets as they are on top.

Prediction: 5.3 due to ugliness

Sorry, 28 of you tried but no one got it right, so no prize this time, but I admit most people were close...
