Possible brachiopod

[Heavy_D]

Not looking for a full ID, but needing some help. My nephew brought me this piece of gravel containing some flint he found in his driveway, and it looks like on the bottom is a tiny bit of a brachiopod fossil, but I’m not 100% so I wanted to get an opinion here before I told him. Eastern Kentucky region, driveway gravel so I’m not sure of the age/strata or even where it was quarried. Thanks for your time.

Welcome to TFF!

I do see a piece of shell, but not sure there is enough to ID.

Thanks! That’s mostly what I was wanting to confirm was that it was a shell piece. He’s at that age where he doesn’t care what it is, the fact that it’s a fossil will thrill him.

I agree, shell piece, ... although it looks more like a bivalve than a brachiopod, to me.
