Pecten?

Might I be on the right track with pecten for this guy? Or would it be another brachiopod? Devonian from Sylvania, Ohio. Any insights? Thanks!

This may be genus Limoptera if it is from the Silica Shale.  However, the matrix doesn't look quite right for that.  Could this rather be a glacial erratic?

 

@BuddingPaleo, if you have not already done so, you may be interested in the Michigan Basin Fossils Database.  You can do advanced searches by taxon and formation, etc.

I had not looked at any MI sites. Thank you for the suggestion! 

As for glacial erratic, I'll have to look that up. Thanks.

The Michigan Basin Database includes Ohio sites as well, including exposures of the Devonian Silica Shale in Sylvania and Paulding, OH.
