@Bullsnake, I really thought you nailed the ID. but as I went to label this as a likely possibility, I noticed it was a stereo isomer of it, it swirls in the opposite direction. Back to the drawing board.   

@minnbuckeye

Can you tell if it is conical?

I found this in 'Index Fossils of North America'. It is widespread in the Ordovician/Silurian and known in the Mississippi valley.

Eotomaria spp.

The one circled is Eotomaria supracingulata.

I hope this helps, or at least is a lead.

Hey @minnbuckeye!

 

How about a monoplacophoran?  I know that the genus Cyrtolites is found in my area (Upper Ordovician), and apparently it's also been found in the Upper Ordovician of Kentucky...

lots of them in KY.
