No thoughts?

Have patients, it is a holiday weekend (in America) and not everyone logs on every day.

 

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."

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.
