Disarticulated GRF fish. Not sure what species. Has these armor plates on back with teeth on them. Any ideas?

 

Prepping it, got skull exposed.

Looks kind of like a Diplomystus to me.

Wow, it’s such a mess I’m not sure I would be able to say.  What diagnostics are you seeing to be able to make the call?

The thickened post cranial bones indicate that ID to me.
