      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.

      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
