Dead Shark or Something Else @ LBTS

ok, im kinda all ready asking this in another thread, but i thought i be a good idea to ask over here as well.

So as i was finishing up a dive in lauderdale by the sea close to the pier. i came across this thing. its a somewhat bigger then a large persons torso

im very convinced it was what was left of a sharks insides. i say this because from what i can tell there was a thick but short intestine as well as that big balloon looking thing that i speculate was the stomach, the liver seemed to have been eaten. along with everything else. Also that bone looking thing was almost some what transparent like cartilage.

this pic show what i think was the short intestines/ stomach

So yea that plus my Bio 2 lab shark dissection and this reference image

make me think this was a shark....

anyone can clear this up for me, or have alternative thoughts

could this have been done be someone?

anyone know if this is common, im always telling my self in my head "oh the sandy part of the beach is where sharks chill." neve thought id see a dead one. any one else see something like this. i took this on Wednesday , it was like 500 - 700 ft south from pier just at the start of the rocky floor to the first reef.

Cool find! I wish the diver had played with the innards a little more until they found something familiar, although it looked like most of the familiar bits had been removed. Shark carcass seems plausible to me.

now that iv looked over the video, i wish play more with it to. but at that moment playing with a big peace of meat while low on air didn't seem like the smart thing. :/

if only i would of turned it completely over i might have found at least some left over hide if it was a shark.
