I found this Fossil Over a Decade ago

Dont forget there is a lot of glacial eratica that was left behind around lake Erie. Not unusually to find well worn Ordovician material that the glaciers took down and dropped as they receded.

 

I'm in the bivalve camp on this one...

@abyssunder @DevonianDigger @Rockwood oh ok, in that case it isn't gonna be a Rastellum or anything in the Lophidae family, because that only appeared in the Jurassic... 

 

Maybe it's some other kind of oyster or bivalve, but I won't really be able to say which one.

 

Might also be a brachiopod as others suggested. Or even coral maybe. 

 

I don't know how soft the matrix is on your piece, but if it is easy to prep, I would recommend that you prep the piece and hereby uncover more of it, so that we have a clearer view of what it may be.
