I decided to accept the OP's account of the fossils.  If we accept an Ordovician age for the fossils, they could easily be from a little south of Huntsville in the Late Ordovician Cincinnatian Series, likely the Richmondian Stage.  Strophomena nutans is abundant in the Ft. Ancient Member of the Waynesville Formation.

Yup, but S. nutans is the wrong shape.

Brachiopod: Strophomena

Agree with Cincinnatian, probably either Maysvillian or Richmondian. but could be S planumbona, S. concordensis  or one of a couple of others.

Appreciating all of you folks weighing in on my little rock.  And no, Harry Pristis, it is surely from the aforementioned quarry; no other possibility.
