It's called a Shark Ray (Rhina ancylostoma). It is currently classified w/ the rays, skates, guitarfish, etc.

FYI....no such creature as "sand" shark....Sand Tiger and Sandbar, or Brown shark, yes. That is a guitarfish as previously pointed out. A member of the elasmobranch family. Cartilaginous skeleton..no bones.
