fossilhunter21 Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 (edited) I recently recieved some Aurora, NC (Lee Creek) micro matrix from, @thelivingdead531. And what an awesome gift it was! But I am having trouble with trying to ID the stingray teeth I found. So I thought I would ask my fellow TFF members if they might be able to help. Thanks in advance. Ps. I can take more pictures if I need to. -@fossilhunter21 Edited November 29, 2021 by fossilhunter21 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fossilhunter21 Posted November 29, 2021 Author Share Posted November 29, 2021 (edited) I am guessing that at least most of the teeth are Rhinoptera sp.? -@fossilhunter21 Edited November 29, 2021 by fossilhunter21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelivingdead531 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 I don’t know if this helps but I believe at least 2 and 3 are Rhinoptera sp. http://www.elasmo.com/frameMe.html?file=genera/cenozoic/batoids/rhinoptera.html&menu=bin/menu_genera-alt.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fossilhunter21 Posted November 30, 2021 Author Share Posted November 30, 2021 Thanks for your response, @thelivingdead531! Looks like #1 is also Rhinoptera sp. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree now that I’ve gotten a better look. Maybe 4 and 7 as well, though it looks like 7 is decently worn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelivingdead531 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Check this section out if you haven’t already. Now that I’ve taken to reading it a bit, I’m unsure of my suggestions. http://elasmo.com/refs/slides/ss_myliobatid.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fossilhunter21 Posted November 30, 2021 Author Share Posted November 30, 2021 Thank you for your responses @thelivingdead531! I have decided to only keep #1 and #3 (because they are the least worn) and have ID them as Rhinoptera sp. teeth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
