What is this cluster of nodules?

Found at Brownies Beach, on the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland.    Never seen anything like this.   What is it?!   The 30+ nodules are very hard material like enamel, and the base is bone material.   Can someone please help identify this fossil?

This is a piece of a fish pharyngeal grinding mouth plate.  (Drum fish?) 

Neat find.

Drum fish tooth plates, cool find,  I usually find them individually rather than still attached!
