Name these fish :)

#1 Post by Striker »

Hi guys,

I was walking my dogs mid March (only got around to doing this now) on a beach in waterford, and i came across some bones from some sort of fish, i think, and i also found a large jelly and both of these i have never seen before, but also its the first time i have been on a beach in march so maybe its normal that time of year.

The skull and bones look pretty big for any fish i know, plus the sharp teeth, type of doggy? And the jelly, biggest ive seen

So do you know what these both are :)

That looks like a lion's mane jellyfish, but the bones could be anything
