Traci,

It sort of depends on what sort of fish skull you're trying to illustrate,
or if you're just doing a generalized skull.

The best overall reference out there is Gregory, W.K. 1933. Fish skulls: a
study of the evolution of natural mechanisms. Transactions of the American
Philosophical Society 23(2):1-481. The originals are hard to find, but it
was reprinted in 2002 by Krieger Publishing, out of Malabar, FL.

I checked the UTK library catalog, and they don't seem to have a copy of it.
You might try to get it via interlibrary loan, or ask around the department
to see if anyone has one in their personal collection.

cheers,
Dave
