Brachiopods or Bivalves...

I found this over the weekend,  and am having trouble identifying it.  Part of some brachiopod or bivalve,  I'm sure,  but not sure which.  Thanks in advance!

This looks like an internal cast of the "beak" (pedicle) area of a spiriferid  brachiopod.

Neat find.

Thank you!  I had a hard time finding a photo or illustration of the pedicle area specifically to try and match.  After looking at other photos, I can see it, and some other match points as well. I found quite a few that day, but the piece in the photos was the most photogenic, lol.  Thank you for your help!
