Eocene Era Marine Fossil Identification

Recommended Posts

I hunt Eocene era Marine fossils in South Alabama. I have found a ton of thins but this one has me stumped. It's roughly 1½ inches long, ⅜ of an inch thick, and ⅜ of an inch tall (Sorry no metric ruler). On one edge, it appears to have small pointy teeth while the other side has some what of a channel. I've been able to identify most of what I have but I need some help on this one...

Here’s a similar one identified as a fin spine, possibly catfish from the Eocene of Alabama. The second photo is the publication where this is from.
