This one was for real. State shark specialists have determined that a big fish that washed up on a beach in Nantucket Monday was a 6 1/2-foot great white shark.
It is a rare find for the scientists, who have not seen a great white carcass wash up on a Massachusetts beach in at least two decades, said Lisa Capone, a spokeswoman for the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs.
"It's an opportunity to try to learn something," she said.
The discovery of the young female shark's carcass at a beach off Sheep Pond Road follows an unconfirmed sighting by lifeguards last week that led to the closing of South Beach on Martha's Vineyard.
