I have these two pieces that I can seem to id so I found this awesome forum and figure this is is the best place to start.  So what information I do have is that this chucks of matrix came from Morocco and kind of look like gill bones?  Please let me know what you think.

They look to me like Hypural bones. :unsure: 

 

Could you take a picture looking directly at the areas where the arrows are?

I'm looking for a view from that side to see if it looks like a vertebra there.

Hypural bones, no doubt, possibly Enchodus.

I'd go with that - Enchodus hypural.
