Your fossil looks like the inside impression of ''platystoma niagarensis'' (Snail Fossil).

Thank you how rare is something like this or are they common ?

Could be the optics, but there doesn't seem to be an elevated spire on painterx7's specimen. That could mean that it is a cephalopod, a nautiloid or ammonite cast.
