Hello. This is my first post to this forum, so sorry if I get something wrong. I found this rock, among others, in Cooperstown, NY in an exposed hillside. I believe it to be a part of the Moscow Formation. I am completely unsure of what this is. I found many other fossils of things like brachiopods, but this is unlike any of them. There are three of these "things" in total, two next to each other and one at the bottom, not completely there. They're each 1.5 centimeters in length. If someone could ID these for me, I would greatly appreciate it.259326634_image1(10).thumb.jpeg.5c99c81ed70496e53441d2e8cb848359.jpeg1921405183_image2(3).thumb.jpeg.9f0a1bf6ec20262595bbdc22bfb5e0b6.jpeg1631174497_image0(29).thumb.jpeg.a06e7a9a44eed717f373686863b63e96.jpeg

These look like the shelly remains of the "beaks" of a few spiriferid brachiopods.
