I found this tooth in some Lee Creek micro matrix from Aurora, North Carolina. It measures 6mm. After doing some research, I believe it is a Carcharoides catticus tooth. Can anyone confirm?

Got some Lee Creek micro fossils I could use some help positively identifying. Tooth #1: Rhizoprionodon? Size 6mm Tooth #2: Some type of fish tooth? Tooth #3: Hoping for Rhincodon, but I don't think it is. Maybe a symphyseal tooth? It is laterally compressed though. Tooth #4: Thresher? Tooth #5: Mobula

Got a couple finds from my Lee Creek micro matrix that I could use some help IDing. I’m assuming the first one is some sort of ray or fish tooth. 1. 2.

Found in the pits at the Aurora Fossil Museum. I think I've narrowed it down to a Thresher/Alopias. Does that seem accurate? I also wasn't sure if there was an ability to narrow it down further. Thank you!

Hello everyone! New to fossil collecting and I have a piece I'm trying to identify. It is roughly 3 inches in length. I found it in gravel from a former marl pit from Aurora, a coastal town in North Carolina know for it's marine fossils. I think it may be wood since there seems to be a bark like texture to the sides though. Please feel free to ask questions or for more pictures!

I found this interesting little fossil while searching through micro matrix from Aurora NC (Pungo River and Yorktown Formations). My first thought was that this could be a commissural tooth from a cow shark (I believe both sixgill and sevengill sharks are known from this location). I haven't had great luck finding pictures of fossilized cow shark commissural teeth to compare to, as these tiny teeth are understandably scarce in the fossil record. I did read through a discussion about commissural teeth in the "Extreme posterior shark teeth!" thread here on the forum, which was very helpful. I hope to get some opinions on this fossil and potential ID. Has anyone found a cow shark commissural tooth from Lee Creek/Aurora and have any pictures they'd be willing to share? Here are pictures of the front and back of the fossil, it measures just over 3mm. Here's a picture of some modern broadnose sevengill shark (Notorynchus cepedianus) commissural teeth that I used for comparison. I think these could be a good match to my fossil, and I'm curious to hear others' thoughts.
