A couple of old finds from Calvert Cliffs.  I'd like to be certain on the ID of both.

Top one has enamel-like quality on one side.  Seems to have broken off the other side.

Are they different types of sting ray barbs?  

Thanks!

The grain appears in the right direction and the bottom specimen looks to have serrations. More knowledgeable folk here than me, but would say sting ray barb is a good bet on the bottom one for sure.

They are both stingray barbs.

I agree. They are just very worn.

Agreeing with the others, if you look at the end of the lower one you can see the worn barbules (don't know if that's the right term)

They are barb's.

Barbules are the whiskers of a catfish.
