I think its a tiny spififerina..not sure if it was attached there or just happened to rest there upon death...

A little Spiriferina replaced with clear calcite...

And from the Pennington formation (also Upper Mississippian but a little younger than the Bangor which it overlays.)

I dont find many teeth from there, so I consider myself fortunate to find two partial Deltodus...

Your UFO is a mystery to me. I am curious to hear the ideas. Good finds on the teeth, it is always exciting to find where a little more unexpected.
