It looks like you may have something in the line of a Platyceras or Salpingostoma sp. gastropod.  Do you know the location and age of the deposit it was found in?

Hey Chris,

It's a gastropod. Really nice one, too. :)

Looks like a Platystoma ventricosa. 

Maybe JeffreyP can confirm or deny. 

Regards,

I'm voting gastropod too. I'm guessing Platystoma or Platyceras (internal mold). It is Lower Devonian, probably Helderberg Group.

Looks more like Platyceras, to me. https://www.google.com/search?q=platyceras&biw=1360&bih=612&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjd3eTShMbPAhVrLMAKHUoYAzcQ_AUIBigB#imgrc=_

And yet, ... in Linsley's "Devonian Paleontology of New York" 1994 ,... this is the plate for Platystoma ventricosa:
