bivalve
-
Brachiopods. A brachiopod shell shows symmetry (equal left and right parts). A bivalve shell cannot be cut in identical left and right parts. Bivalve symmetry is between shells (the hinge). Usually the “beak” in a bivalve curves to one side.

Hi @daniel-toscano it is hard to discern a fossil from this picture! It looks like it might be a sedimentary rock, but uploading a clearer photo (perhaps some different angles?) with a scale for reference can help with ID!
-
I think just sedimentary

Hey @gillian-catlett ! This appears to be a crinoid stem segment or at least its external mold. Casey County has a number of formations which are of Mississippian age, so finding crinoids is not surprising.
-
my first thought was trilobite but looking closer I realised that it was a crinoid
