Hi there! I was wondering if anybody could help. My daughter and I found this fossil in the water at Miramar Beach Florida. It looks to be a shell however I was wondering what type of sediment this fossil was created from. I found it to be super neat because I would never imagine that one could find a fossil rock in the water at the beach. Given there’s constant movement of the ocean I didn’t know this was even possible. Thanks I’m advance! I’ve uploaded photos.

This is an imprint of a paleozoic spiriferid brachiopod.

It must have gotten there by human means, as I don't believe Florida has any sediments of Paleozoic age present/exposed at the surface.
