Jazfossilator Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Found at Myrtle Beach South Carolina, thought it might be some kind of ray tooth plating but it doesn't match any of the ray stuff I have, any ideas? One picture has the ray teeth I'm familiar with to the left of unknown piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abyssunder Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I see ray mouth plate material there, at least the one with the polygonal crown and the "striated" root. The unknown might be a chimaeroid tritor, similar to a Ratfish tritor. 2 " We are not separate and independent entities, but like links in a chain, and we could not by any means be what we are without those who went before us and showed us the way.

The Jersey Devil Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 The unknown is a bone fragment that is similar in shape to a ray tooth. “You must take your opponent into a deep dark forest where 2+2=5, and the path leading out is only wide enough for one.” ― Mikhail Tal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see how it would look that way, but that's not the case here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jersey Devil Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 (edited) Yeah, I guess it might be ratfish. The first and second pics show resemblance to tritors. Actually the crushing plates of the ratfish are bony, so this is technically bone.
