Hello everyone. I hope y’all had a great Christmas!
Most times I’m digging for Seminole Indian war relics but from time to time an Indian relic turns up on accident. Today I didn’t find and war relics but while digging an old iron nail this shell artifact turned up. Any ideas on its purpose would be appreciated.

Can you tell whether it's water worn? It looks like a water worn shell to me and not an artifact--this smoothed the whole piece. I'd say those lines are indicative of layers that formed as the animal was developing. The hole is from erosion or parasitic activity.
