I found something similar in my area a few years ago - it was full of Sowerbyella sericea brachiopods - it was a really nice surprise!

 

Congrats on your great find! :thumbsu:

Nice find Matt! :) 

They look like Rhynchonelids to me.

Lucky find.  My luck lately, when I break a rock open I either find nothing or a fortune cookie note stating "better luck next time" :-)
