Stingray Teeth
Stingrays (Batoids) belong to the ancient lineage of cartilaginous fishes related to sharks. Fossil denticles (tooth-like scales in the skin) resembling those of today's chondrichthyans date at least as far back as the Ordovician. The teeth in this collection are from the Miocene Age 23-5 million years. While not all stingrays have barbs on their tail, a large proportion of them do and these barbs are venomous! The mouth of the stingray is located on the udder side of the body. The teeth are modified placoid scales that are regularly shed and replaced. The teeth, are large and flat, allowing them to crush the bodies of hard-shelled prey. Living stingrays typically only measure 10 inches wide and weighs a mere five pounds. Similarly, giant freshwater stingrays can grow up to 8 feet wide and weigh up to 800 pounds.
