Frilled shark or Goblin shark?

Question

Hopefully someone can relate and help me out:
A few weeks ago I saw a video on i-am-bored.com and it directed me to msnbc website and had an article of the Frilled Shark that is very rare and found in the deep sea. They called it a "living fossil" and said it died shortly after being found in a Tokyo bay. So now I saw an article on yahoo.com about the Goblin Shark. They said it was a "living fossil" and said it lives in the deep sea and was found in a Tokyo bay, and it also died shortly after. Each site had pictures, articles about the animal, and videos. So I want to know why a few weeks apart from each other two different sharks, were found in a Tokyo bay and was labeled a living fossil. Either the websites had the same story but i different shark OR i'm just thinking too far into this and they both are rare, and sometimes called living fossils.

Answer 1

I'd heard about the frilled shark. Pity these sites don't use the Latin name as well.

Answer 2

It is two differenet sharks and two different stories. Goblin shark was found on Jan 25 and the Frilled shark was found on Jan 21. The only video I saw was of the Frilled shark.
