Found what I believe is a hadrosaur spit tooth as soon as I opened my bag of Aguja Formation micro matrix! Can anyone confirm?

I think it is a bone fragment.  In the first photo, I see bone surface on the left half and internal bone structure/texture on the right half.

I don't think this looks like a spitter either. Maybe a piece of Ceratopsid tooth? It's been a while since I had my sample of them out though. :shrug:

 First one Looks like other hadrosaur teeth I've seen. Not so sure about the second.

I say the opposite... the second one is definitely a hadrosaur spitter, the first one is bone.  (I have looked at thousands of these things).

Agreed.

I agree. Taking a second look at the first one it looks like a bone chunk and the second one is definitely a tooth. It was late when I left my first reply.

Spit teeth can look kind of chunky like that first photo. Here are some examples.  I was thinking the ridge looked like the enamel ridge on the teeth furthest to the left in the upper photo.
