A request for fossil identification was sent to the CONCH-L 
shell collecting list.  It does not look molluscan.  Perhaps 
someone on this list would be more familiar with the 
possibilities for the region.  It may be a pseudofossil.  Here 
are the relevant parts of the original message:

Hello Conchlers,

A Bill Stephenson from Missouri has an odd fossil that he 
is having trouble identifying.  I have given him a "Mystery 
Page" at: http://www.manandmollusc.net/
mystery_fossil_bills.html

You may contact Bill at: bill@secureshopper.com
 or if you answer to the list, I'll pass the information on to 
him.

All the best,
