Hello everyone, I'm looking for a second opinion on this piece, a fish head from the green river fauna, while I believe it maybe Amia due to comparisons I'm not to confident, any help/guidance is and will be appreciated.

Amia pattersoni

Sorry, but I can't see the resemblance.

If not that then my second best guess would be phareodus possibly like the picture below or notogenus.

I would agree that it is likely a Phaerodus. 

It appears to have been dorsally flattened, and disarticulated pretty badly. 

If the circled items are teeth, then it's a Phaerodus.
