Greetings @charles-du ! @nathan-newell might be able to help.
Hi, @matthew-gramling ! Cool specimen, @charles-du ! I think this looks like it might be Rafinesquina:

I’m not sure if I’d say it’s the particular species featured in that link, but it looks similar to all these “Rafies”:

Thank you @nathan-newell. You were correct. Rafinesquina is an extinct genus of large brachiopod that existed from the Darriwilian to the Ludlow epoch. The genus was named in honor of polymath Constantine Samuel Rafinesque.
@charles-du No problem! Glad to help.
