I Think it's a Fossil?

[nkellam22]

I found this item 8 inches deep in a metal detecting hole in a park in Luxembourg.
I find tons of Devil's toenail fossils (Gryphaea) in the area which are an extinct oyster species but I've never found anything different.
Like I said I'm more of a metal detecting guy and know next to nothing about fossils and I'm not even sure that this is a fossil, I just don't know what else it could be.
Looking online makes me think it could be a fish scale fossil but that is a pure guess.



Thanks!

It’s a shell maybe a type of brachiopod but I’m not familiar with what types of fossils are in the area.

Wow, thanks for the help!
Do you have any idea what type of shell it is, I can't seem to find a match online?

Clam, scallop, cockle or any other of a variety of shells. I know it's not a definitive answer, it's been a lot of years (77-80) since I did anything with shells.

I really see a possible horse hoof nailbed.
