Apparently, there are at least a few different species of shark that lay spiral-shaped eggs including horn sharks, bullhead sharks, and crested-horn sharks. The shark's eggs are spirals to make them easier to wedge into crevices.

On this link, there is a picture of a horn shark egg:

Here is a link to a picture of the bullhead shark eggs: link https://www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/do-sharks-lay-eggs.html

Finally, here is the crested-horn shark egg:
