Unknown find

[Jackson g]

Hi all, I hope everyone's out enjoying their summer. I know I am, as Ive finished and mapped out a couple more spots to hunt with all this high water Missouri has. I found this recently at a new location, and I believe it to be from the Burlington Formation. It looks to me kind of like a Straparolus gastropod. If anyone else could help confirm or deny that, I thank you ahead of time! Found in Henry County, Missouri.

Awesome fossil!

That appears to be an impression of the concave side. I'm not sure it can be identified from that, but I'm not a gastropod guy. Let's wait for the experts.

I'm no gastropod guy either, but was hopeful someone could make out an ID. Straparolus gastropods are like a trophy find for the area, but regardless I'm just glad the spiral hadn't weathered away yet.
