danco Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 (edited) I would like to know to what species of the stingrays each of them belong (Aetobatus arcuatus, A. irregularis, Myliobatis or other). They are from Venice beach, FL and the largest is 1.7 cm long. Edited December 10, 2010 by danco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest N.AL.hunter Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 I am no expert, but to me they all look like Myliobatis tooth pieces. We find them in abundance in the Eocene Tallahatta Formation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siteseer Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 (edited) Generally, you can't nail teeth to species when they are that fragmentary and worn. However, you can get to genus in some cases...#3 and is Aetobatus (the "V" shape indicates a lower tooth) and #4 looks like Aetobatus as well.
