This skull is from a sculpin, a tiny fish. Anole ribcage in the background for scale.

An early holiday gift I got myself: a spotted gar (Lepisosteus oculatus) skull. Spotted gar are one of the smallest species of gator found in the United States and occur from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico. They are not federally protected though they are protected in some states at the northern end of their range. In my state they are relatively common and not at significant risk of extinction.

I don’t have any other fish skulls so I’m excited that my first one is such a cool species.

My students found this bone on the beach in Galveston, TX. I'm sure it's a sacrum but not sure from what?

That's a neurocranium from a fish! I'm not the best at IDing fishes but I think it might be from one of the drum species, possibly a red drum. Not positive about that though.

A community I help mod on reddit has a few members who are stellar at IDing fishes if you'd like to post there to get a definite species from them. It's r/bonecollecting

Very cool find!
