I've been trying half heartedly to get an ID on this for a while now, stoked I've stumbled on this forum! This is from the golden Bay cement works quarry in Nelson, NZ. 

Found in same area as many bivalves, sharks teeth, corals and snails.

It’s an incomplete bivalve steinkern. Sediment partially filled a bivalve and lithified, then the shell dissolved away.

growing old is mandatory but growing up is optional.

Half a hole. ;)

Half a hole is still a whole hole. It's just easier to repair. :D

Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!
