Fish Fossil Identification

[Matric]

Good evening everyone, my name is Mattia and I'm writing from Italy.

Today, I acquired this fossil fish at a judicial auction.

Unfortunately, I don't have any information about it, so I'm here to ask for help from you, experts and fossil enthusiasts, to assist me in identifying the fossil in question.

I thank you all in advance and wish you a good evening.

Very difficult to say, as this fish is poorly painted over, and preservation is not the best.

Also, not having a location found will make this very difficult to ID confidently.

might be an overpainted bony fish (perhaps, but I do not really think so, a Nematonotus) from cenomanian limestones of Lebanon

Nematonotus? Naa, much too slender - this is how a Nematonotus looks like.

 

Looks a bit like Scombroclupea, but the scales seem to be larger and thicker. No real idea what it is.
