Hi Lance @lance-comfort,  I am just trying to learn about fossil identification so I think your knowledge base is much greater than mine.  I did do some web searches about Lopha species.  I did find one East Coast citation in North Carolina for Lopha frons

Also checking further the name Lopha frons is not accepted and the valid name is:  Dendostrea frons

Might this be what you found?

What resources do you find best for identifying invertebrate fossils?
