The weird thing is if you look at the middle top of it there are two things that look like the tips of starfish arms....
Looks like fish gills from something big like a grouper.
Ooooh- ok-- now I see! Yes iI agree it's probably the gill arches and rakers of a large fish. At first I didn't know what on earth it was! I thought it looked like a Weird creature from the old black and white Dr Who shows ! LOL)
About the size of a salad plate
This reference might help. It has detailed images of gill structures including teeth. Check figure 66; Preliminary Fish Dissection http://www.artscape.us/aquaculture/fish_dissection/head_gills.html
