Found this in the rocks used to repair our road. Larger and narrower than any of the brachiopods I've found so far. Is it even a brachiopod at all?

I assume the rock originated in the same formation as what I've found around the railroad tracks and in my driveway gravel, which I've been told came from the Slade Formation (Mississippian).

Definitely looks like a nice productid brachiopod to me, though I'm not good at identifying them beyond that

Yes, definitely a productid and the one from the Mississippian most resembling this would be Ovatia sp. but I feel that it is quite likely to be another genus with the wider parts buried in matrix.
