Unknown Pa fossil

[Skd5337]

Hello, 

I am brand new to this forum and would like to start things off with a fossil I found yesterday in North Central Pa. It was found in a side cut along a highway amongst shale and siltstone. I have no idea what it is but am leaning towards some type or coral maybe?? Let me know your thoughts. And the fossil was found in the hole of the rock that I had split open. Thanks!

I think it's a brachiopod mold (cast?).

I agree, you can see the ridges in the one picture. Might be a spiriferid?

I would say so. Hard to tell what genus though, maybe Spinocyrtia sp. or something like it.

Awesome thank you! Thought it was an interesting find, I'll know next time as I'm am an amateur collector.
