Compressed shark or fish vertebrae? Species ID help

Hi there. I found this on a field trip to a private quarry in Midlothian , TX (just south of Dallas).

It was in limestone / shale in the ATCO formation, where there’s lots of shark teeth and fish bones.

I’m pretty sure it’s been compressed as most of the shark spines I’ve seen are much more round and this is pretty oval shaped.

Does anyone have any guesses as to species? Thanks in advance!
