Looks like a bit of Ammonite. Guessing Cretaceous. But more angles would help, as Tony stated.

I agree, this is a segment of an ammonite. Most likely Peedee Formation if from Myrtle Beach.

I agree with Al. Sphenodiscus is the most common ammonite there but you probably won't get a definite ID from you frag.

I agree with the others. A weathered ammonite segment would be a good guess. For comparative reason (just an example), here are two Sphenodiscus (Sphenodiscus lobatus) specimens in different views:

Maybe the suture lines would help a bit in the ID for those who are more familiar with Ammonites than me.
