I have made a mistake: This is very likely not a Palaeorhynchus. The snout looks different. This fish seems to belong either to Aulostomidae, Fistularidae or Urosphenidae and not to Palaeorhynchidae. According to the shape of the head, it might be Oligosphenopsis.
So Oligoshenopsis sp. and not Palaeorhynchus sp.
