It's a fossil gastropod (marine snail) that has broken apart. Something in the territory of a Bellerophon species perhaps.I keep six honest serving-men (they taught me all I knew); Their names are What and Why and When and How and Where and Who.

I was just heading for bed when I saw this and didn't have the time to find you a helpful picture. This is Bellerophon crassus, but by no means the only gastropod possibility. Imagine this split in half ventrally such that the interior spiral wall of the shell chamber is exposed.
