@isetprettygirlsonfire @thebirdsnake3916 ammonite? Snail? Nautilus?

Very cool! It appears to be a snail to me @op. FYI ammonites and nautilus shells are symetrical. Snails spiral to one side like this example

Some kind of ammonite? They're some of the most common fossil finds. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonoidea

nah, it doesn't resemble any, not even the heteromorphic ones. This looks more like a snail or something like that

Wow, so potentially super old. Very cool, thank you!
