The top two are ray dermal scutes, they are like scales embedded in the skin of the ray. Ignore the bottom two. -
From the album: Gainesville Florida Microscopic Miocene
These are fragments of stingray tail spines, usually assigned to the genus Dasyatis. -

Another tooth of a ray from the family Myliobatidae. -
From the album: Gainesville Florida Microscopic Miocene
This is a lateral tooth from the ray genus Rhinoptera. -
From the album: Gainesville Florida Microscopic Miocene
These ray teeth are often assigned to the genus Myliobatis but other authors dispute this designation. They are certainly some ember of the family Myliobatidae. -
From the album: Gainesville Florida Microscopic Miocene
These ray teeth are best identified by there profile shape. -
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. -
From the album: Gainesville Florida Microscopic Miocene
Stingray teeth that are most commonly assigned to the genus Dasyatis. -
Well, I know I said my last post on these tiny fossils would be my last, but I was wrong. Everyone was very helpful with the previous questions (as usual) so I'm back with a couple more tiny teeth out of the Gainesville Creek matrix that is generally Miocene aged Hawthorn Fm. All of these are pretty small, most just a few mm's across. You can see previous posts here for other info or ID's: http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/topic/119097-gainesville-shark-teeth-question/&tab=comments#comment-1305867 http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/topic/114209-north-florid

Took the relatively short trip down to Purse State Park last weekend and had quite a bit of success! Best find was certainly a fairly large chuck of what I think is turtle shell, along with a very much alive turtle that rested with us for our lunch before returning to the water. The dream of finding anything marine mammal or a somewhat complete ray plate remains for next time!

South Alabama Eocene Period Fossil Hunting w/ the Kids *Best Find This Far
AveReel Outdoors posted a topic in Member Collections
So, I've been hunting sharks teeth on and off in South Alabama since a young child. Since my two kids have gotten self sufficient, me and the wife have been taking alot of trips to the river to look for teeth. Finding the normal small teeth, for our area, got me to wondering if there were bigger teeth in our area. That led me to some late nights of researching the ins and outs of my area. The area we are close to has alot of Eocene era fossils and I quickly learned the Carcharocles auriculatus was THE SHARK during this time period. So, my goal became to find a complete tooth in my little honey -
Here is another Cabezon taxa that I am having a hard time identifying. Is it Pseudohypolophus? Rhombodus? Myladephus? Something else? Any help will be greatly appreciated! Randy

Hello, below are photos of some verts I found at Big Brook Park in Marlboro NJ. (Late cretaceous, Mount Laurel formation). I thought they were both ray verts, upon taking another look however I noticed there are some slight differences in their build. I wanted to see if anyone had any clarification for me. I've checked the usual sites, njfossils.net and njfossils.com, but I think I don't know how to interpret different features. I took photos of each face (anterior, posterior),and tops and bottoms (dorsal/ventral sides). Both were found, to my knowledge, in the Mount Laurel format

I have two unknown fossils one being a tooth and the other I believe is a ray mouthplate/jaw bone. Sorry about the photo quality on the mouth plate it had a strange shape. Thanks

Shark, Ray, Fish And Other Micros From Hallencourt France
MarcoSr posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Some of my fossil hunting trips take place at home breaking down and looking through matrix obtained from collectors worldwide. This matrix came from the Cretaceous (Campanian) of Hallencourt France. Most of the nicer specimens that I found in this matrix were in the 1.5mm to 4 or 5mm size range. Almost all of the larger teeth were damaged (missing roots, broken root lobes, crown damage). The matrix is a very hard chalk which requires a pick ax or jack hammer to get the matrix from the formation which adds to the tooth damage. I am posting below pictures of a small number of the nicer and more- 18 replies

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.

Hello! Help please to identify this fossil. I think that it is tooth of some Ray. May be, Torpedo..? On a second photo - together with a male Dasyatis. Max. radius - 1,5 mm. Middle Miocene. Western Ukraine. Thanks in advance!

Recovered the below bone from the Peace River a few weeks ago and put it aside thinking it was a partial bird bone or small reptile. On closer examination I can see serrations running along the length of the two sides. This now has me thinking Ray barb. The specimen is 26mm long by 10mm at the wide joint end. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

In February, I sifted at the shoreline on Caspersen Beach and Venice Beach, Florida. Finds include: (left) a crab claw & 2 ray tail barbs..... plus a variety of small shark teeth and ray mouth plates.

My question is exactly in the title, Can you identify ray teeth without locality info? I got some as a gift a long time ago and have no information on location and age and was wondering if its possible to identify to genus or even family

Howdy! How do you tell a Shark Vertebra from a Ray Vertebra? I can't seem to find much info online about Ray Verts. I came across (and vaguely remembered reading on a post) that ray vertebrae are more rectangular....is that true? Here are a few vertebrae that I think might be ray and if I could get a positive yay or nay on that.....I'd be very grateful! These are from Post Oak Creek in Texas - Cretaceous Era Size 4mm Size 3 mm
