A 1994 New York Times article reported on a traveling shark exhibit that appeared at the American Museum of Natural History in New York. One of the items on display was a replica of a full suit of steel armor with a helmet.
A 16th century French physician named Guillaume Rondelet recorded this discovery in his Libri de Piscibus Marinis, or “Summary of Marine Fishes” after finding the armor in a dead great white shark. Both the location of the find and how the armor ended up in the water in the first place remain mysteries.
