I found this fossil yesterday along the southern beach of the Baltic's Luebeck Bay. It looks like a shell. I would love to know more precisely what it is. Thanks, Tina (the ruler is in centimeters)

Hi, it's a terebratulid - a kind of brachiopod, presumably from the Cretaceous Chalk.

Possibly Gibbithyris sp. but there are several that look similar.
