Need help with ID

My wife and I went fossil hunting today, and I found several that I am working on their IDs. However, I don't have a clue as to what this one is. Any help is appreciated. It was found in Cincinnati, Ohio, in the Corryville formation (late Ordovician).

A cross-section through an orthoconic nautiloid, i would say. 

Nice find. :)
