Only a year late in the conversation, it looks a bit like a snapper skull (missing the teeth).

It certainly looks unusual, at first i though that it was a platypus, but then i saw the other angles of it, and read down the comment line. it could be a very Deep sea/ ocean fish, eel or something else. i downloaded the pictures and will ask my friends. hopefully they might be able to help.

I am so proud. I solved the mystery. Took 10 minutes or so.

This is a spiny scorpionfish. Particular fish first discovered by an icthyologist named Fowler from offshore fishermen off the Coast of New Jersey, and named in honor of author and sportsman Ernest Hemingway. Scientific name is neomerinthe hemingwayi.

Here is another website with this skull

I’m thinking perhaps it is not a skull?

Yesterday I have found an identical skull on a beach in Tuscany (Italy).
I have searched in Internet for a similar one and I have found only your pictures.
Today I have sent the pictures of the skull I have found to a zoological museum in Rome. I am waiting for an answer. I am really curious! I will share the information once I will have the answer!

Bye!

I have found same kind of skull today in Italy! I was searching for help in Internet and I have found your skull. They are really similar, but I have no idea! Tomorrow I will show it at the zoological museum in Rome. I will let you know!

Hi there! We just found exactly the same kind of skull in Albany, Western Australia at a rivermouth. We googled imaged to come up with your blog. We’d love to know what it is, obviously not an emu, a moa or a pteradactyl … maybe a mulloway (but they have teeth) We found it a few days ago and have been puzzling ever since. Send me an email if you like …. cheers, Sarah
