Sawsharks are a little-known species, both in Lee Creek and today's western Atlantic. Their flattened body has a greatly extended snout. A saw-like appearance is created by elongated lateral denticles. Generally refered to as rostral spines or rostral teeth. they can be found by fine screening mine waste, and on very rare occasions, are found directly in the Pungo River formation.

The oral teeth appear much like those of a batoid (high-cusped stingray). The rostral teeth are flattened side to side and flare out at the bottom before joining the rounded base (root). Due to the small size and appearance, they could easily be mistaken for a broken tooth blade.
