Marine Fish Skulls to ID

Hello

I hope someone will be kind enough to ID these for me. With so many fishermen and women on WAB I expect that someone will be able to take one glance and name a common species, and this will finally satisfy my curiosity

I think they’re beautiful and took them home to draw, but I never discovered what kind of fish they came from. I found them washed up on the high-tide line in a fishing harbour. Is it possible to ID them from photos alone?

I’m always collecting found skulls and bones of all kinds. My home looks part natural history museum part ossuary Could anyone tell me if there’s a book I could buy that would help me to identify the skeletal parts of British animals?

Cheers,

Andestine
