Harry Pristis Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Fam. SPARIDAE, Sparus sp. - 'bream' or 'porgy' Nice find! These button-like teeth are usually long gone . . . at least with the drum fish jaw-parts. Compare that with the common find here in Florida: Fam. SCIAENIDAE, Pogonius sp. - 'drum fish.' http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
