Many people call them mermaid purses, but they are really skate egg cases! “What are skates?” you may be asking. Skates are a fish that have skeletons made totally of cartilage, and fall into one of two families; they're either hard-nosed or soft-nosed.

❥An egg case or egg capsule, colloquially known as a mermaid's purse or devil's purse, is a casing that surrounds the fertilized eggs of some sharks, skates, and chimaeras. They are among the common objects which are washed up by the sea. They are made of collagen protein strands.
