I think it’s still Paralbula marylandica. If you’re referring to the indentation on the enamel side, I’ve always interpreted those as wear facets.

Thanks.

Here's a really tiny one.

This may be what @MarcoSr has identified as Scomberomorus sp. on his website.

And call it serendipity or synchronicity, but I think I found a Scomberomorus (Spanish mackerel) sorting through my matrix today.

I believe this to be a ray denticle.

Does anyone know if I am right and, if so, which one?

Rhinoptera sp. perhaps?

Yes. No idea on the species.

Beautiful little find my friend! I have found a couple of them, but I unlike you thought they were a broken piece. Now I’ve got to dig them out of my misc. bits container. 
 

Here’s a interesting little find, not sure if it just a bone frag or some kind of scute maybe? I can’t figure out a way to get the grains of sand out of something this small.

This one is a little beauty. I like!

That is a gorgeous denticle, Adam!

How about a beautiful little phosphate nodule that is pretending to be a seed or maybe it’s an pretty little rock trying to be an egg. I’m not sure why, but I find the need to save all of these I get.

The same reason I keep saving these little zebra mussels.

[Tidgy's Dad]

Anyone know what this is?

Tooth or bone fragment?

Thanks, my friends, I am learning new stuff all the time which is great, Wouldn't have had a clue what this was a couple of months back.
