Meristella laevis, a Lower Devonian brachiopod from the Glenerie Limestone exposed in a roadcut along Route 9W north of Kingston, NY. The one in my hand includes both valves.

Nice! The preservation looks similar to the type of preservation that I've seen in the Licking Creek Formation in Virginia and the Old Port formation here in PA.
