You would have thought that oarfishes are so often the culprit in these mystery fish photos, identifying them and solving the mystery would be a piece of cake. Apparently not.

Having looked at these better pictures it looks like a shark, probobly a basking shark. The horns are probobly the cartalligeous rods from the snout and in one shot i can see what looks like claspers, modified fins male shaks use in mating.
