Welcome! To be honest, you need to send more pictures. At least to me, the one picture you posted is not enough of an image to give clarification. Smarter folks than I will hopefully respond.

Is it conical in shape? If so, most likely a Case-Shot Frag.

Can you provide measurement of thickness of the fragment?

Impression is that it is piece of an elongated shell of a larger caliber..

Could be from a elongated shell

It looks to be 1 to 2 inches in thickness.
