Ran into this fish skeleton at Bunche Beach near Ft. Myers FL
this week. Late in the afternoon. I never touched it it was sitting
as photographed.

I don't exactly know what to call it, but the texture is interesting I think.

Yup, cow fish...I don't think I've ever seen a fish mummy before.

Thanks for all the great comments.

It was just such an interesting bit of texture
and sitting there like it had been swimming and
then got stuck.

thanks again

What a great find. The combination of context and the quality of the photo make it a really nice piece of work.
