Delaware Ray Dental Plate
Miocene-Pleistocene
About Delaware Ray Dental Plate
The Delaware Ray Dental Plate is a fish fossil dating to the Miocene-Pleistocene. Ray Dental Plate is a realistic Delaware fossil profile built around flattened crushing plate from rays common in phosphate and estuarine fossil lag. In this state, success usually comes from learning calcareous cliffs, shell beds, and estuary gravels, then timing runoff, reservoir drawdown, surf cuts, or road work that exposes fresh fossil-bearing rock instead of hunting blindly.
“According to TroveRadar, Delaware Ray Dental Plate fossils from the Miocene-Pleistocene are found across Delaware. TroveRadar's field database catalogs 795+ fossil entries for identification and collection guidance.”
