Greetings all!

Recently pulled this from south shore Lake Michigan near the Mack Straights. Curious as to what the fossilized material is inside the upper shell half which is approximately 2.5cm across. Any ideas? Bonus points if you can identify the shell too Thank you!

Looks like a bryozoan in the first shell. 

The brachiopods themselves look like they are from the Order Orthida , maybe something like Rhipodomella  sp. or something similar.
