Brachiopod?

I'm pretty sure it's a brachiopod.

After that, I'm lost. I have a book that I'm using, and it matches a picture of a Torquirhynchia, but it says those are found only in Europe. This one was found at the Trammel Fossil Park.

I don't remember in what layer I found it.

 

Side note, here's a close up of the tiny fossil next to it.

Welcome to the forum.

 

Hard to say for sure with only a little bit exposed. It might be a Hiscobeccus capax.

Brachiopods are usually identified by overall shape and especially features of the hinge. More would need to be exposed for good ID.
