Hi, I'm a newbie to this forum and would really appreciate some help identifying a fossil that my son found last week in mid-wales, Upper Gilwern Hill Quarry, Powys.  It was found in the same strata of slate with trilobites that the quarry is famous for.  multiple photos attached.  Many thanks in advance for anyone who can help identify it.
