Nautaloid looking thing

I found this today on highway MM in eastern Missouri.  It's about an inch and a half long that tapers down.  It has ridges about every ,5cm and long thin striations that run along it

If it is Ordovician, the combination of ribs encircling the shell and longitudinal striations suggests Gorbyoceras. Nice one.

Don't know the formation reminds me of spyroceras.
