This final fossil could very well be a dermal denticle. However, if it is, it is the most robust denticle that I have seen. It is quite large for a denticle as well. Any other possibilities?

I think that’s it. Some current skates (Raja clavata) have some denticles at least 1 cm in diameter...

Could be a dermal denticle.   Here are some from the Hell Creek Fm...largest 4 mm

Thanks!  I do think that this is a dermal denticle.  But it is far larger than the other few denticles that I have found.
