Found this while walking the dogs  In Central Missouri USA . 3 cm long 2.5cm wide 2.5 cm tall  limestone matrix.

I thought it was a clam shell when I found it. The smoth rounded side was sticking out, but when I hit it with a hammer the Clow/Tooth shaped fossils was revealed.

Let me know what you think Thanks

Looks like a brachiopod steinkern. What appears to be a tooth is actually the beak. Dunno what a clow is.

An internal mold of a large spiriferid, I think.
