That `holocephalan denticle' looks like one of the smaller morphotypes of Lagarodus specularis . See Lebedev 2008, Acta Geol. Polonica, vol. 58, 199-204, fig. 2.
Thank you for your insight! I had it identified as a denticle based on the foramina present along the sides of the base, with no foramina present on its basal face. Looking at the figure, it does resemble Lagarodus, which can be found in the Naco Formation.
Nice Petrodus! You even caught it on camera before catching it with your eyes. They're pretty rare here in Texas
Thank you! I was thrilled to find it
