Here is a beach fossil that I found today.  I haven't found anything that looks like this before.  It is an inch and a half across, concave on one side, convex on the other, and about 1/4 to 1/2 inch high.

Here are three photos.   Thanks for any help in identifying this.

You've found half of a shark vertebral centrum.
