Found on the Outer Harbour beach (Whitehaven). Commonly known as a Mermaid's Purse, this is a chondrichthyes. It was empty, but probably from Skate or another ray - not a dogfish, as those are smaller as well as much longer than they are wider. £1 coin for scale. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egg_case_(Chondrichthyes)
