FOSSIL UPLOAD
First, make sure you have a myFOSSIL account, this is required to upload your fossil information. If you are interested in seeing if your fossil can be used for research purposes, please follow through the following steps. They walk you through the information needed and why it is helpful for other scientists to use it for research questions. Even if the information you have on your fossil is not enough to be used for research purposes it will still benefit the community through educational means and help others identify their fossils. Specimens that have sufficient information will be uploaded to iDigBio and GBIF (Global Biodiversity Information Facility) for public accessibility.
If you have already gone through the stepwise process that explains each piece of data please click through to a summary tab where you can enter in your specimen data on a single page.

Spiral gastropod fragment
It could be, but each deep imprint seems to be curved in a downward U shape. If it was a gastropod, i think it would appear spiraled, and the imprints slanted. There also appears to be some kind of conical imprint surrounding and highlighting the impressions, which seems odd to me.
Probably an Orthacone shell fragment then. I also see part of a crinoid stem next to it as well.
Cool, are there any known Ordovician deposits in michigan you know of? I couldn’t find any info about it online, only things telling of Devonian age deposits.
