Found in the Mount Laurel formation of the C&D canal Delaware. It looks like a modern day razor clam. Does anyone know the genus of this fossil?

The part that looks like serrations are the teeth on the bivalve hinge. I think Plax is correct with Nuculana. Here is a modern one showing the teeth. Photo from here-https://naturalhistory.museumwales.ac.uk/britishbivalves/browserecord.php?-recid=284
