It looks a little like a brachiopod,  Composita ovata but ti depends on the age. Where was it found?

Found in Kansas near Flint Hills

Flint Hills appears to be Permian so brachiopod is a good ID but maybe someone can tell us what is commonly found there. I don't know the Terebratulids, maybe Composita is among them, it just looks a lot like the ones we find in the Pennsylvanian of Texas and at least some of the species were also in the Late Permian.

Could be Composita subtilita. My experience is there's a bit of variety among the compositas, possibly 3 variations in my area. I know this visually, not from verified IDs.

  • I found this Informative 3

Thanks, I was trying to remember who was the Kansas member. Have you collected the Flint Hills? Maybe John will be happy with Composita sp.

It's my main area for collecting, eastern edge which includes Pennsylvanian (Osage Questas) and Permian (the hills).
