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 http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.cromwell-intl.com/3d/pictures/fish-lateral.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.cromwell-intl.com/3d/range-maps.html&usg=__m7UfK-Iz0DFlDEt1PXooL2g5rss=&h=189&w=507&sz=24&hl=en&start=3&um=1&tbnid=47J1vlbpdZC0dM:&tbnh=49&tbnw=131&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dneomerinthe%2Bskull%26hl%3Den%26um%3D1 I am so proud.

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 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.

It's not a turtle or a bird, but a fish that was most probably someone's dinner on a beach BBQ! Maybe Barra, Spanish Mackerel, or even Wrasse? Apparently it is a bumper fishing weekend up here, and the minimum makerel size is 75cm. Fancy fish 'n chips anyone? Thanks everyone for your “thinking caps”.
