Hello. I found this on the beach today. I’ve seen similar posts that make me think it may be part of some type of ray dental plate. But since it’s not very black, does that mean it’s not very old? Also, is there a way to know what type of Ray it could be from? Thanks so much!

From the album: Gainesville Florida Microscopic Miocene
These ray teeth fit together to form a broad, flat crushing dental plate. The lowers have a distinctive V shape and the uppers have rounded, slightly swept back ends. -
I found this yesterday on a fla beach. Appears to be fossilized dental plate from a ray. Can anyone help me verify the ID and estimate the age. Im guessing based on internet photos.

Hi, I found these 2 unusual little pieces on a Tampa Bay beach in Florida. They are roughly 1 x 1 inches. At first I thought pottery shards or some seashell mold and put them in a box. I just saw a photo that they resemble, labeled Ray Dental plate. (brown photo) I attached 3 photos front and back of my specimen. What do you think?
