Denticle and suggestively shaped mineral, help ID


I.C. Fossils

Recommended Posts

These two were found on the beach on the East coast of Florida and I'm guessing the first one is a denticle of some sort, but not totally sure. To me, the second one is reminiscent of a very well worn shark tooth, but I cant recall ever seeing a shark tooth like this.  In fact, I think I've only found five or six teeth in this area the past couple years.  The kind of mineral fragments I notice in this area are usually calcite with the texture of crushed ice, this is waxy.  Having found silicified bivalves and what not- this is much more translucent. The last photo is magnified.  Has anyone else found these or know what they are? I appreciate any help or ideas.
