Fig 4. lamniform shark skulls (image from Maisey 1985, 'Relationships of the megamouth shark, Megachasma', in the Journal 'Copeia'). The jaws (white) are held loosely by soft tissue to the chondrocranium (gray). When the jaws fall off during decomposition, the remaining skull (gray) does look (one might argue) superficially like a plesiosaur.
