For you folks that saw my post on what I got for xmas, I now know what kind of fish it is. Its what I was hoping for and have wanted one since the 1990's. Its a FREAKIN GIGANTIC, WORLDS LARGEST, BEST IN THE UNIVERSE, Eurypholis!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so excited I can hardly type this. I have quite a ways to go to finish prepping this thing, but here is a picture that have those 3 large diamond shape bones on the back of the neck that is a dead givaway. Wooooooooooooo Whooooooooooo!!!!! Havent been this excited for a long time. Best xmas gift ever! This is what I started with and this pic shows the givaway bones.

Characteristic for Eurypholis (meaning "broad scale") are the three large scales directly behind the head. References: A. S.
