Fossil Matter Trivia I: Can you identify this fossil?

I have in mind to post, in the upcoming months, several images of fossils with the idea for you, the reader, to identify them. Leave your identification in the comments section below or email me, and once the contents are in, I'll post the correct answer below.

Alright! Let's begin easy. Can you identify this fossil?

I am a geoscientist specializing in the distribution and evolution of biotas that inhabited the Caribbean over the past 200 million years. My research also explores oceanic anoxic events, climate change and the complex geologic history of the circum-Caribbean.
