Or a stingray barb.
Kim, can you post a pic?
True, without a visual, it's impossible to know. I thought she originally said ridges, now I see grooves. Senility rears its ugly head.

FYI - I felt like trying a new dive so I dove Golden Beach on Saturday. I parked at Alhambra and walked "south" on the beach to the second drain pipe and headed due west from there. The walk was longer than I anticpated and was more than a little tired when I arrived at the drain pipe.
Vis was ~10ft
Depth for most of dive was between 18-20ft
It was exciting to dive a new spot, but I have much better luck at Alhambra (ie first drain pipe). There are the typical scattering of small teeth, sting ray fossils ...etc but I did not find any megs there. On the plus side - I did notice more marine life than at Alhambra or Venice Beach (guitar fish, sea horses) which was pretty cool.
Summary - Next time I will probably just dive from drain pipe #1 instead of making the walk to drain pipe #2 or venture out from a different location (Service Club, Casperson ..etc).

Good morning guys :blinking:Walter:
I will get a pic of the pieces when i get home from work tonight and post
Yes ridges/groves one one side only very uniform ... one of the piece looks like an end piece for it is the only one slightly curved and the ridges come to a end. The rest are very staight.

Hard to see in that photo, but it looks like you have both ray dental plates and barbs. The only one I can see clearly enough to be sure of this the one in the lower right - dental plate.
The upper left looks like it might be a barb. Got a light you can use to take another pic?
