About	Mermaids' purses are the egg cases of dogfish and rays, both relatives of the shark. The egg cases have long curling strings at the corners that are used to fix them to rocks. Out at sea the egg hatches and a very young dogfish or ray can be seen developing inside. When the fish is old enough it will break out of the egg case and swim free ~~ last year I uploaded a picture of some of these taken in our small local aquarium ~ here's the link if anyone's interested: http://www.betterphoto.com/gallery/dynoGallDetail.asp?photoID=935081
