--Boundary_(ID_3YFmJxV9rLsXS8w0xPdBrA) Content-type: text/plain; CHARSET=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT From a Google search and then Wikipedia, "The most distinctive features of this species are its three-cusped teeth, the white blotch on the back of its first dorsal fin, and the two pairs of lateral keels on its tail." The photo seems to show the white spot just behind the first dorsal fin, so it probably indeed is/was a porbeagle shark. This is a true Canadian shark, or rather a shark of the North Atlantic, liking cool waters, and the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC) has written a status report on it and evaluated the species as a possible species at risk under the federal Species At Risk Act (SARA).
