Did a little hunting today at Big Brook in NJ. Not a lot but what we did find was nice. One is this item. At firstI thought it was from a Saw Fish Rostrum but the bend in it is making me think left jaw of a bony fish. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi there, What would that piece be? Received it in a lot labeled just as saw fish. Any guesses? Also, it looks like it's been glued or something, right? Thanks in advance, Juliano

Fossil Tooth, Onchopristis, Saw Fish Occidental Sahara Desert, South Morocco Cretacious Period (79-145 million years ago) Onchopristis is a genus of extinct giant sawfish that lived in the Lower Cretaceous to Upper Cretaceous in North Africa and New Zealand. It had an elongated snout lined laterally with barbed teeth. Onchopristis is a large sawfish, known from remains throughout North America, North Africa and New Zealand. It was very large, up to 8 m (26.2 ft) long when fully grown. As with modern sawfish, Onchopristis's eyes were on top of its head, to spot predators rather than prey, and its mouth and gills were under its body. Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Chondrichthyes Order: Sclerorhynchiformes Family: Sclerorhynchidae Genus: Onchopristis-
