This fossil was found in Petoskey, Michigan at a beach I'd rather not identify while I was looking for petoskey stones with my family, it caught my eye as looking like a shell of some kind. Since I couldn't come to a conclusion as to what it was I consulted a michigan based rockhounding youtuber who advised me to post here. I cannot, for the life of me, come to a conclusion on what it is with any certainty, please help.

Relevant info first: This was found in Petoskey Michigan while looking for Petoskey stones. It was found in partially buried in sand. It is quite large and rather heavy. As pictured in picture 5, there is some sort of opening at the end? I can't get a very good picture of the inside, it's hard to get light where i need it and take a picture. the hole looks to maybe be about a 1/2 mm deep, and less than that wide. I took to reddit, albeit with less detailed photos and was told it was a straight shelled nautiloid cephalopod from the paleozoic, and that it was a brevicone, which I'm hoping someone can confirm or deny, or point me towards relevant info. I was trying to find more and found this on your forum, which is the first thing I've found online that actually looks something close to what I have: Anyways, Thanks for looking, and any help you can offer.
