I think it looks more like some photoshopped a picture of an alligator so it looked like that, and then made a phony news report about it. Or something.

I have no idea if this fish was actually found in Utah or if biologists are actually trying to identify it. I don't know how large it is or how dessicated its corpse is. But I am curious to know what it is. Too often these images are floated about the web like so much flotsam, with no ID ever being arrived at. I know you'll do better.
Thanks for the photos, Jelo.

It looks to be a rather un-happy (somewhat) flattened florda or alligator gar. The nasty buggers get over 6 feet long
It looks alot like the lovely fellows in the pictures in the links.(the fish ,not the men)
