I'm creating a 3D model of an LMI chemical feed pump. The pump has a fitting on top which has a knob show in the attached photo. The knob has a teardrop shape and curves in two directions. If anyone can help me model this knob or give me some suggestions, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks.

Extrude it from the top view, rotate it 90 degrees. Create an arc that represents the top edge looking from the side. Create a solid that has the arc as one of it's surfaces. Subtract one from the other. The corrugations can also be done if needed similarly.
 
Got it! Thanks for your help
