Nice find i think trace fossils especially burtows like yours are under appreciated. Theres a spot near me here in Blair County pa where there are huge piles of these. Some have a very pleasing silvery iron rich coating.

google Paleophycus or Arthrophycus. Am pretty sure that's what these are. There are tons (literally) of them in the Tuscarora Quartzite on mountain tops in PA. a carry-able slab is rare though.
