25" Cretaceous Fossil Fish - Goulmima, Morocco

This a large, 25" long fossil fish from the Lower Turonian aged, marine deposits near the town of Goulmima, Morocco. While the locality has been known since the 90's not much material has appeared on the market until recently. The fish are typically preserved in nodules, and the species and preservation is rather similar to the Albian aged fish faunas of Brazil.

The fish is remarkably detailed with even the sharp little teeth in it's open mouth being visible. These fish are found in nodules, and it was prepared with the half of the nodule still embedded in the surrounding rock.

I'm not confident on the ID of this fish due to the lack of literature I can find. I've linked to the papers I can find below.
