Hi All,

Been struggling today with a species ID for this fish bone - unfortunately found no matches in our reference collection and it’s driving me up the wall! Closest thing I could find via Nottingham’s wonderful resource online was catfish but as I’m working from a Later Prehistoric context in Scotland, that would be uh...extremely surprising?

Would appreciate any second opinions on this! Image is below.

Cheers,

Alex Fitzpatrick
