Can someone please help me ID this fossil? I found it in rocks washed up on the shore of Lake Ontario in Wilson, NY. Thanks!

No idea how big your coin is. 

However, that's a cross-section through an orthocerid nautiloid.

I agree, this is an example of an orthocerid nautiloid cross-section. Nice fossil! 

 

P.S. @Tidgy's Dad, I have edited the photo and added scale. Hope this helps! :)

You might need to change that scale...2mm is a very small coin.
