Fossil Ray Tooth Plate Myliobatis sp Aquia Formation Palaeocene Maryland USA Genuine

Fossil Ray – Myliobatis sp. (Eagle Ray Tooth Plate)

Geological Period: Late Palaeocene (Thanetian Stage)

Age: Approximately 59 to 56 million years ago

Formation: Aquia Formation

Locality: Wades Bay, Charles County, Maryland, USA

This listing features a genuine tooth plate from Myliobatis sp., a genus of eagle ray that once inhabited the warm, shallow seas of what is now the Atlantic Coastal Plain of North America. This fossil comes from the Aquia Formation, a well-known Late Palaeocene marine deposit exposed along the Potomac River and its tributaries.

The Myliobatis tooth plate is characterised by its flat, pavement-like structure, composed of interlocking teeth adapted for crushing hard-shelled prey such as mollusks and crustaceans. These rays were part of the elasmobranch lineage, related to modern rays and sharks, and played an important ecological role in Palaeocene marine ecosystems.

The Aquia Formation, dating to the Thanetian stage of the Palaeocene, consists of glauconitic sands and silts deposited in a shallow marine environment. Fossils from this formation include a rich variety of shark teeth, ray dentition, bony fish, and marine reptiles.
