Two pieces of bone from Sharktooth Hill the first has a shape I’m hoping someone might be able to identify. The second might be a little too worn down. Any ideas ?

The specimen was found at Ernst Quarries, Temblor formation, round mountain silt. This reminds me of a ray plate except the plate is somewhat wedge shaped, with very thin teeth (?). One longer “tooth” remains in the matrix. Sorry I couldn’t clean it up better, while attempting to do so, it popped out of the matrix. I hope to glue it back in place to complete the prep, but the risk of further damage may change my mind. This prep has revealed multiple specimens, changing the plan and approach again and again. Nice problem to have,right? The last photo shows one of three larger specimens in the original matrix. I will seek additional IDs and prep advice in separate posts.
