I am not to well versed on fish, but enchodus looks similar. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."

sixgill pete Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Since the cliffs there are Miocene Calvert Formation, enchodus is ruled out. Not really sure. It would help if we could get some better, more in focus pictures from all angles. But I am thinking along the lines of a Hake; something in the family Merlucciidae. 1 Bulldozers and dirt Bulldozers and dirt behind the trailer, my desert Them red clay piles are heaven on earth I get my rocks off, bulldozers and dirt Patterson Hood; Drive-By Truckers May 2016 May 2012 Aug 2013, May 2016, Apr 2020 Oct 2022 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
