This ‘fossil’ was found on a river gravel bar in Southern Minnesota. Sedimentary layers in the area include Wisconsin lobe glacial till and cretaceous mudstone/sandstone. The centre of this specimen seems to be just sedimentary material that is slightly harder than the surrounding material filling the core. The outer shell seems to be rock. I am totally stumped.

 Perhaps you should consider rhizolith ? Another form of trace, or simple concretion are also possible.
