Rhynchotrema??

Agreed. That would place it as Ordovician and @ricardo gave you a good resource to help ID them.  Next step is trying to figure out where they come from. :)

Rhynchotrema is a good starting point, i think. 

Without a location it's impossible to be certain though.

I agree with the ID's. You can find a lot of them at St. Leon, IN.
