Silurian mollusk

Judging from the shape of the beak, what seem to be muscle scars and their position and shape, and the dentition, which looks taxodont to me, I'd say bivalve.

It reminds me of a Cretaceous Period Pterotrigonia thoracica pelecypod. I do not know if it had an ancestor that existed in the Silurian Period.
