Only oviparous sharks lay eggs, as most bony fish do.

Neverthless, the list of oviparous sharks is vast. I will try no mention just a few species:

- Several species of bull sharks, like the horn shark (Heterodontus francisci).

- The crested bullhead shark (Heterodontus galeatus).

- The australian swellshark (Cephaloscyllium laticeps).

- The zebra shark (Stegostoma fasciatum).

- The swellshark (Cephaloscyllium ventriosum).

- The striped catshark (Poroderma africanum).

(Most catshark species are oviparous.)

- The saddle carpetshark (Cirrhoscyllium japonicum).

(Also most carpetshark species are oviparous.)

However, the majority of sharks species are ovoviviparous.

The largest eggs in the world are laid by a shark?

Most sharks do not lay eggs, but instead bear live young, with the shark fetuses supported by the mother in a manner similar to mammals. Some others have eggs, but the eggs remain inside the mother, with the young living off each other. Of the remainder, some simply lay them on the bottom of the ocean, while others place them in crevices. Some of the bottom-laid eggs have long streamers that grab onto nearby objects and hang on until the young are born.
