Does anyone know of a good website, dichotomis key or another resource to ID shark eggs? Does anyone know how to tell the difference between an eppie egg and a banded bamboo egg? I ask because I found 1 very unusual tiny egg and 1 some what unusual pointy egg.

Very unusual tiny egg.




Pointy egg

To me they look the same. When trying to tell the difference you can shine a( waterproof) flashlight through but never I repeat never take them out of the water. Hope this helps
 
Looks like a banded catshark egg.:) Btw like was stated don't let expose to air, and hang exactly how they have it on that clip.:)
 
eppies have a copper metallic luster to them.
 
No need for a underwater flashlight. I bought the smaller egg, I will keep everyone updated. Hopefully it turns out well.

Very creative. The first egg doesn't look like a bamboo. Post pictures when it hatches I am curious now.
 
Not yet. I tried candling it the other night. When I did I couldn't tell if the round thing was the sharks head or yolk. If I had to guess I would say it will hatch in a month. Here are pictures from July 22.

No it did not. The egg expired before I left for a weekend vacation. I was in a rush and had my girlfriend nagging me about leaving so I couldn't cut it open before I left. I didn't want the egg to foul up my tank to I put it in a critter keeper with an airstone so I was can cut it open when I got back. When I got back the water was disgusting and stunk. So I just through the egg in my yard without cutting it open. So I have no idea what kind of egg it was.
