This one is probably Myliobatis or Rhinoptera, but it’s almost impossible to distinguish between the two from isolated fragments. So I don’t think you can get past Myliobatidae for the ID on this one, unfortunately.

Hey Bill. Minor correction, the species name is spelled chubutensis.

Hey Hunter. These are called belemnites. They’re from the Cretaceous Pee Dee Formation.

This one is also a Carcharhinus tooth. It’s an upper lateral tooth, but I’m unsure of the species.

Hi Charlie. I think this is actually a Carcharhinus upper tooth. Perhaps, Carcharhinus signatus. Take a look at this link https://www.floridamuseum.ufl.edu/fish/discover/species-profiles/carcharhinus-signatus

Hello Victor. I was a bit uncertain with my ID. It seemed that the fossil was too large for rhizopriodon, but I wasn’t aware of any other species with similar teeth. After looking at C. signatus teeth, I also believe that this is the true species that this fossil belongs to. So, thank you for your comment.

When you look at the cross-section where it’s broken, you can tell that it’s enamel rather than bone. Turtle bone tends to have really large pore space in their bone, whereas this specimen is very dense.
