This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_000F_01C8FD16.4311FFA0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable All Near the start of this month I posted some photos of fish bones my = sister Rita had taken for which we wondered of its identity. http://bernieb.smugmug.com/gallery/916397_ynXPk/5/48802228_Th9z3/Medium Andrew Hebda forwarded the photo links to Alphonso Rojo and here was his = interpretation: "It is a Lophius americanus. The upper mandible is disconnected. By its = shape, its gape, and teeth there is no doubt.=20 I checked other bones, but the picture doesn't show them very well. I = checked them at home. There is no other fish with these features.=20 The popular name of the fish is angler or devil's fish. It is considered = to be a different species of the European Lophius piscatorius." After requesting and obtaining permission to post his interpretation = here, he did however indicate to me that he wanted to emphasize it would = be preferable to see the bones to be 100% certain, being that relying on = a picture there is always a possible small margin of error. Thanks again to those who responded and assisted in our inquiry.
