Sorry for picture quality, but can anyone help identify this fish found in Matanzas, Cuba? 

The last picture with fish sitting on top of limestone block has lines drawn on it approximately  3” apart for some type of scale.

He would be the most knowledgeable of the area, as far as I know. 

 

You could try contacting Alison Murray.
