Hi guys, I thought I’d start a thread for what is in my opinion, one of the most under appreciated group of marine vertebrate fossils. Anyway, to provide some info on these ratfish and why I find them so interesting, primarily I am drawn in by their rarity. Unlike sharks, that shed their teeth on a regular basis, these fish have one set for life! Anyway, enough talk, more fossils, I will start with some very uncommon jurassic ones, if anyone has any, please add to the thread

Good morning folks. I am asking for a verification/confirmation of this Stingray Mouth Plate. It was listed as Myliobatis stingray mouth plate from Morocco 50 MYO. Does this look correct?

I've recently moved to coastal South Carolina in the Charleston area. I've also recently discovered the fun of hunting for shark teeth. On my last shark tooth hunting expedition I came across this interesting piece as I was searching a local beach. I think it may be a stingray mouth plate and would like someone to confirm my suspicion. Maybe it isn't even a fossil.... it is in spectacular condition and that makes me wonder/doubt it is. Any help is appreciated.

Picked up on Myrtle Beach today. I've seen stingray mouth plates before and this reminds me of that, but they were always small detached pieces with the vertical lines - never inside something bigger. So maybe this is something else? A piece of shell maybe? Appreciate your thoughts. Thanks! Paula

A few weeks ago I was on a hunt and picked up a few nice Isaurus sp. teeth, some hemi's and seen some bone frags. I saw this sticking out of the mud at river's edge and figured it was more than just a bone but it was completely covered in mud. My eyes trained for teeth, I put it in a bag and continued on. When I got it home, I ran water over it and the small teeth started to be revealed. I couldn't believe it. I am not an expert by any means, but I assume its a fish mouth plate? From looking online, I don't see where it would be a drum. I have found individual drum and other oval fish teeth, b

Hi, Looking for a little help identifying this small fossil. I found it in the Peace River, Florida at the weekend. There were plenty of stingray and pufferfish mouth plates along with turtle shell, but this looked a little different. It has the hallmarks of a fish mouthplate but would love some help. It's about half an inch. Thanks for your help as always. Tom
