drbush Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Dear friends, I found this fossil in the desert near my city, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Can you kindly help me to identify it for my collection? It is 14 mm long and 8 mm high. I found many sizes. Thank you, very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Hmmmm... Not so sure that's a ray. Could you provide some other views? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you provide some other views? enamel look + bone look (as opposed to plate) = dermal denticle ? We do need that other surface though, and it looks like we may not see it.
