Ok, I have a question. I have a picture of a shark but I am not sure what kind it is. Does anyone know of a site to ID sharks. A friend of a friends caught two of them fishing off the coast of Jax. I could post the pics but they arn't on the computer so if I just had a site to go to it would be easier. Or if any of you are shark experts I could try and describe them.

Here's a fun way to do it: Shark-o-matic. It's put out by PBS.

Ok, I am a moron. I found my shark. It is a common bonnethead shark. After finding it on one of the sites you guys gave me I thought "Hey, I have a fish ID book." There it was. Oh well, thanks for all the help. At least now I have a place to go when I need to find some other species.
