Fish Fossil?

[Finder76]

Hi,

I think I found another fossil. 

You guys are awesome with the information on my last one. And, was hoping for help with this possible fish fossil. If you need more images, please don't hesitate to let me know!

Thank you,

J

Sorry but no fish

I agree with caterpillar. Just because the rock is shaped like the head of a fish doesn't mean that it is one. Other factors such as missing scale substance and the failing of other typical features rule that out. You would also need to research the stratigraphical position of your find and find out what kind of fossilized fauna, if any, might be available at the locality where you found it.

This looks like mineral staining to me - no bones, scales or actual fish morphology.

lol,  the shape of the rock is not what I was going by. It was the figure inside the rock.. Thank you for your insight.
