I purchased some Ptychodus teeth and I can not determine the exact ID on my own. They are smaller than P. whippeli or P. mortoni teeth I have and bigger than the single P. anonymous tooth I have though that is the species I originally though, and still think these are. They are from the Kamp Ranch section of Eagle Ford in Texas. I consulted a very well put together ID guide here but am still just not sure what I have, other than nice Ptychodus teeth lol Any help would be appreciated.

I was cleaning some matrix I got from the Kamp Ranch formation in Dallas last weekend and found this tiny thing in the matrix. I’m wondering if anyone can tell me what it may be without it being fully exposed. The picture quality is not that great. I sure tried to get better pics, but wasn’t able to. It is 5 mm wide at most. So it is difficult to get a good close up pic of it. It’s 4 sided pyramid shape with a peak in the middle that almost looks like it has a groove down the middle of the peak. It was in a loose fragment of matrix I pried off a slab. Some of the surface of the item remained in the negative half of this. That is where you see the lighter color on the top and sides. This is a pic of it when wet. Top looking down view. Top down view again while dry. Side view from one end. Side view from the other end. Maybe it’s a funky shaped pebble, but I don’t think so. All the other stuff in the matrix looks like shells or shell fragments along with shell and ammonite impressions and some fragments.

Need help with this one. Found in the Kamp Ranch formation, in SE Dallas, TX, about 4 inches across. Geologic or fossil?
