Hi, could you tell us what is its geologic age and its size ?

Thank you Matt.

I believe Matt's creek has Middle Devonian or Upper Devonian fossils. 

 

Matt, this looks like an internal mold, perhaps of something like Pseudoaviculopecten sp. 

Hard to say, with the lack of detail, though. 

Nice find!
