Ray
Description
Large ray around 900 mm in total length (including tail). Image is not of good enough quality to do much identification. There are multiple spine rows on the tail and dorsal midline. The thorns are large and the disc is rather deeply indented marginally (spade-shaped). Need a count of thorns and other details for ID.
