hemipristis Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Porcupinefish, to be exact. I love these things. Managed to find a few dead ones in Hawaii and the OBX and kept their jaws as modern examples. They appear to be exactly the same 'Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.'

Boesse Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 To be *even more* exact, these are burrfish - Chilomycterus - which are diodontids and therefore the same family as porcupine fish (Diodon spp.). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
