Hey, 

So i realize this may be a complete shot in the dark, but i thought i'd give it a shot none the less..

I found it the other day, in Wenlock edge amongst the limestone pieces, and have no idea what it is, and whether or not it's worth taking time to fully clean it up (Iv'e give it a decent scrub the best i can, but what's left won't budge with elbow grease alone).. 

Anyway, i was wondering if anyone may have any idea as to what it may be..

Iv'e attached pics of the piece both wet and dry.

Thanks :)

brachiopod?  What is the age at wenlock?

It's the Wenlock epoch;  Middle Silurian. 

I agree, that's a brachiopod, either part of an orthid, or possibly a squished bit of Atrypa, I would guesstimate.
