Found this in NJ Cretaceous stream. I've heard rumors that some trilobites get washed down from north Jersey, this is about an inch and a half long. Sorry for the crappy images, will work on getting more focused shots later. It definitely seems segmented. Any ideas?

Not possible to be a trilobite. 

Looks more like either a spiral shark coprolite, or a concretion.

Agree it is not a trilobite.  What about a cephalopod, looks like it it could be a worn fragment of one?

Yep, spiral coprolite.

The earlier Silurian/Devonian stuff has a yellow color to it and is made out of a hard silicate.
