Hi everyone, 

I am very new to fossil hunting and am hoping to find some trilobites. I am located in along Lake Huron in Ontario, Canada on a rock formation from the middle Devonian period. I broke open a rock on my second trip and found this but I am not positive what it is. I think it could be a fossilized pygidium from a trilobite but i am really just guessing. I have attached to photos of the fossil, if anybody could help me identify it or steer me in the right direction that would be greatly appreciated. 

 

 Thanks.

It would more likely be from the lower Devonian in the Bois Blanc Formation. Here is a similar piece from one of my hunting spots;
