Hello, everyone - I found this in a creek in Texas this morning. Initially I thought it was a large tooth, but on closer inspection, it seems like it might be a fossilized palate? With three rows of small teeth? Very odd, but I'm sure one of you will have a simple answer. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer. Specifics: Solid rock. Seems to be fossilized. Not a modern bone. 6.75" "Long", 3.25" "Wide" and 1.5" "Thick." In this particular creek I've found several Mosasaur (or marine reptile of some sort) vertebrae. Modern bones. Two arrowheads and a spear point. A rock fishing net weight. And innumerable Exogyra fossils. Lots of smaller, fossilized "snail" shells and clams. Nautilus chambers and small pieces of (and whole) Ammonites.

Hi guys. I have found a fossil for whom I presume is a myliobatis palate (medial). It was found in the eocene era site in Croatia, near city of Vrgorac. Thank you in advance.

Palate bone of an Enchodus. The whole bone as well as the fang seem to be abraded. Maybe it's been partially digested?
