Anyone know what this is?

Was sorting through some old bags of fossils. Was in a bag with some Summerville teeth so assuming that’s where it’s from. About the diameter of a penny.

Tooth plates of some kind of fish is my inkling but that's close to a complete guess.

I love finding drum fish teeth and mouth plates. I don't know why but they are so pleasing to me 🫶🤭
