It is a Cox Comb Oyster. These funny looking animals are commonly sickle shape but this can vary depending on the size and space the animal has to grow. They existed from the Late Jurassic to Late Cretaceous in a similar niche to modern day oysters. This one pictured is from Madagascar, but can also be found in Asia and Europe.
