Weird oval tooth?

Myrtle Beach, 2022

 

this piece has a very shiny top like enamel. Reminds me of the very type of enamel I find on drum fish teeth.

The underside seems to have a defined opening.

I am including a photo of the side showing how the enamel meets the dull gray side.

 

this piece is 1 inch long.

 

thanks! Paula

This looks like a crusher tooth from a pycnodont fish.

Something like Anomoedus phaseolus.

That’s a new one for me! I found this picture. Very much looks like the third tooth on here. Thanks dude!

An uncommon find in those black gravels at the beach. Lots of Peedee formation fossils there like Cucculea steinkerns, Squalicorax teeth and the occasional ammonite fragment.
