According to the lifeguards, after a little research online and a check with marine experts, the spine appears to have come from a great white shark.

"We're sorry this guy had to perish, but happy that he (or she) left a little something behind as a message from the past about his (or her) visit to the #wellfleetbeaches," lifeguards posted.
