Fossil identify?

Found in south Mississippi? What could it be?

Hi, do you know what is the geologic layer ?

Without more precise information i should say a pecten with an imprint of a probable coral ? I'm not sure.

Can you show us a photo from the other side and add information on where you found it ? The south of Mississippi covers a great area.

The oval shape looks like an imprint of a crinoid columnal from the crinoid Platycrinites. 

The larger shape looks like a bivalve perhaps, but not sure about the 3rd item.

could it be something like an opened bivalve shell? Like the bottom in this picture

I don't think so.

I looked up images of platycrinites and that is a lot closer, just wanted to throw out an idea. Proof you can learn something on someone else's thread so thank you Tim

I think it’s Paleozoic era, found 30 miles north of Hattiesburg in a gravel pile.

I don't think that is specific enough if you remember where you found it you can look at a geologic map like the ones on a pinned thread in General fossil discussion. But if it was found in a gravel pile that was moved by people it wouldn't work.
