Hello all. I'm hoping to find out if this is a rock or a fossil. I found this in a creek in western kentucky.

Found this in southwestern Kentucky. I'm unsure if it contains a partially exposed fossil or possibly petrified wood. Up close the folds seem to be created by a separate object contained within the rock.

Hello everyone! We recently went on an impromptu rock/fossil hunt in Warren Co., Kentucky. We spent some time at a creek and found some worn/broken geode material, lots of crinoids, one small horn coral, and this little guy. My first thought was horn coral based on the overall appearance and my limited knowledge, but it's obviously flatter than a horn coral and comprised of a translucent-ish material. I wasn't sure if a horn coral could be flattened by geologic processes, but it seemed possible. By chance, I stumbled across a reference to Platyceras here on the forum and suddenly thought of this mysterious fossil. So I'd like to know, am I correct, or is there another ID that's more appropriate? For reference, it's about 35 mm long. Thanks in advance!

I found three of these fossils in a small area at my local creek where I collect fossils. Two of them were found by themselves but one of them is still inside the matrix accompanied by bryozoans and crinoid segments. I have no idea what they are or could be but they resemble teeth. They were found in Crittenden County Kentucky if that helps any.
