Found this one in northern AZ. Couldn't find anything that resembles this online. Anyone have an idea?

It sort of looks like two stacked productid brachiopods. 
 

A better locality and knowledge of the rock layer that they came from will help. 
 

See county geological maps of Arizona at top of this post:

My best guess is that they are Peniculauris bassi  brachiopods from the Permian Kaibab Formation.

This also came from northern Arizona south of Joesph City Arizona and south of the little Colorado river. Was on the surface.

Kaibab Fm likely. My statement below still stands:
