Can anyone identify this fish fossil?

[Jacquie]

I unfortunately have no information on where this fossil came from as I bought it at an auction. Would like to know if anyone can identify what kind of fish it is and what era?

This looks like the 2nd dorsal fin, a good portion of the body, (pelvic fin?), anal fin, and tail of the Devonian Lungfish Scaumenacia curta.

The matrix looks like that from Miguasha Scaumenac Bay- Escuminac Formation.

Excellent fossil. Must be from an old collection, as collecting is no longer allowed there.

It's a very nice fossil showing a lot of détails.
