Mysterious Skull Identification Please

Yeah, it's not very big, about 3".

So, we think fish then? Anybody find any skull images that might match? I've been looking but as it's so badly decomposed it's hard to see what it might look like complete.

looks like a skull from a member of the catfish family Doradidae or possibly loricariidae

Doradidae • Cat-eLog • PlanetCatfish


Edit, sorry should have said, it is DEFINITELY a catfish skull of some sort. The spiny pectoral fins are a dead giveaway

looks more like the platydoras shape but the eye is bigger but with 1000's of species i don't think you're gonna get closer than this
