Great bunch of fossils, including some osteoglossomorphs (arowana and mooneye relatives), a chanoid (milkfish relative), an otophysan (related to minnows, tetras, and catfishes). Also this very nice Cladocyclus (a smaller relative of Xiphactinus):

Keep 'em coming! That Cladocyclus is a beaut. I can't help but be reminded of a payara with that protruding lower jaw.
