ID on a vertebra? in a fossil plate.

I see lots of crinoid stems and maybe brachiopod/bivalve, coral, gastropod remains,  in the matrix, so I think there is no vertebrate material, although it could be not excluded.

What do you think the one I measured could be?

It will be difficult to say due to its recristallized character and because it is embedded in the matrix, but I think it could be a brachiopod or gastropod in somehow oblique section in that agglomerate seabed sediment.

The variety of forms could be large. For example I can see a far resemblance between the pictures below, putting aside the geological time. (Probably I'm wrong and it's a trick gained by my visual memory trying to find the possible match.) :headscratch:
