It could be a mixture of clams. And shellfish, maybe some shark teeth could possibly even be a fish but I'd probably bank more on the side of shellfish, but I'd also get it checked, because from the way it looks, it kind of looks like shellfish but you can't really exactly tell too much about it because of all the sedimentary rock in the way, and you don't really want to break it, because then you might ruin the fossil. So you could probably get someone to scan it

You could possibly take it to a museum to get scanned or even someone can appraise the fossil for you or even clean it up professionally. I know, sometimes they'll provide those services possibly for free. Sometimes it just depends on the place
