Because the odd animal had perished and was already partially decayed, no one knows for certain what species it is.
Some speculated that it was a deepsea lizardfish, which are found in tropical and subtropical oceans worldwide and normally live on the seafloor.
They feature a lizard-like bony skull that is flattened, as well as a huge mouth filled with sharp teeth for killing prey, unlike other fish.
