Looks like a scallop. Can you provide a scale / ruler next to it?

could be a part of a astroid, hit the ocean floor and a shellfish had a bad day. 10,000,000 years and three weeks, 2hours and 45 min.

No more than about 6,000 years old and that's a FACT. Great find though, good conversation piece.

It is true 6,000 years ago except that back than the earth took 51,329 years to go around the sun which equaled one year.
Is there another way to believe it?
I agree and so does God.
