Are these all the same ray plate, @kristen-cotiaux?
@samantha-ocon yes just different angles. So it’s part of a sting ray?
yes! It appears to a be a stingray plate, which is basically their equivalent of teeth. I’ll tag in @Vperez for some further ID help.
Partial Ray bar, not further capable of ID due to condition.
Hi Kristen! As the others said, it is definitely a partial tooth from a ray mouth plate. Given the worn condition, it is hard to say which ray species. It could be a spotted eagle ray, eagle ray, or cownose ray. So the safest identification is the order Myliobatiformes. You can update this in the classification field.
Thank you all, I have updated the classification
