No. A shark's skeleton is made from cartilage, a material softer and more flexible than bone. Sharks are cartilaginous fishes which means they have a skeleton of cartilage. This skeleton is usually calcified but it is not true bone. The fins of a shark contain cartilaginous rodlike supports called ceratotrichia. Cartilaginous fishes are composed of two groups: sharks and rays (Subclass Elasmobranchi) and chimaeras (Subclass Holocephali).
