Skate tooth ?

[Kolya]

Hello!

Help please with identification. 

I think it is some genus from Rhinobatiformes, but I did not found such teeth before.

Size ~ 1 mm.

Middle Miocene, Badenian.

Western Ukraine.

Thanks in advance!

That is a nice looking little tooth. I love the color. I could see it being some kind of drum type fish tooth also. The ones I’m used to are usually black, but I’m not sure that means to much.

Your tooth definitely could be the crown of a skate tooth.  Below is a picture of a skate tooth posted by @Al Dente a good while ago here on TFF.
