Hi Carol,
A few useful references for fish skulls:
Watt, J, GJ Pierce and PR Boyle (1997). A Guide to the Identification of
North Sea Fish Using Premaxillae and Vertebrae. Copenhagen: International
Council for the Exploration of the Sea.
Cannon, DY (1987). Marine Fish Osteology: A manual for archaeologists.
Vancouver: Simon Fraser University Archaeological Press.
Wheeler, A and AKG Jones (1989). Fishes. Cambridge: Cambridge University
Press.
Or, you could send me some photos and I'll pass them around York's fishlab,
as we're always glad to help.
