Enchodus sp.?

[RyanDye]

I'm very inexperienced with fish, so I could use a second pair of eyes on this one. The listing is labeling this as Enchodus sp., it's being sold from California, so I assume that's where it was found. I've asked for a more specific locality, but so far no answer. Unfortunately since I don't own the specimen, I can't take any better photos or give a reference for size. Thanks in advance!

It's Enchodus libycus from the phosphate mines around Khouribga in Morocco. Nice piece.

Definately!  I've never heard of Enchodus ever being found in California.  Most of our deposits are too young for that.

Noted, I really need to do some more reading on fish, it's intimidating since there's so much diversity and history. More of a reason to start now.
