What type of fossil is this?

This was found at Casperson Beach. I have no clue what it is since I am not from the area. Anything will be helpful!

Hi there,

 

This is a Burrfish mouth plate with crushing teeth. Here is a fun image to help you remember. Welcome to the forum.

Here is my own version for reference, found in Savannah, GA (Chilomycterus sp.)

 

Cheers,

Brett
