Hello, I'm into bones and skeletons but think here could be a place to ask it.
I was given some fish head to do their skulls. Heads comes from an African fisherman. There is a "barracuda" (Syphraena sp). I'm thinking of the great barracuda (Sphyraena barracuda) of course and of Sphyraena afra or maybe an other one ? Head is around 30 cm long.
Anyone could help ? I really care of what (ID) I'm working on.

Second one is a Scombridae (quite sure of it because bones are close to the tuna skull I have). Maybe Scomberomorus maculatus ? Head was around 10 cm long and have quite big sharp teeth.
Again any help would be welcome Smiley

Will post them here too when finished if some of you want it.
