Colorado school of mines or the museum may be able to identify the fossil. As far as removal, leave it in the matrix until you speak to a professional. They can give excellent advice on clean up without damaging the actual fossil.

I did take it to the Paleontology Dept at CU and she said that it was a shell fossil, but can't identify it until more is exposed. She gave me some techniques on how to expose more. Thanks again for the reply |

I'm very happy to help! I'm also glad she gave you some great advice! I hope you'll post the cleaned specimen!
It looks kind of like an oyster shell or a conch. :) |
