Is This A Fossil Nautiloid?

This comes from Turtle mountain where the Franks slide happened in Alberta. It's in a slate type rock and is about the size of a quarter. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. You guys are too good! :P

I'm having trouble seeing it as a fossil...

would it be possible that we are looking into the "mouth" of the nautiloid? (or anything else that could have a space?)

and that has just formed (rather than completely filling in?)

...or is that just not possible? haha.

That's what I originally thought it was. Do you think we should split it on that layer and see what happens? :blink:

I see bilateralism, though, the preservation is poor. I think fossil for that reason. But, what it is???
