Wilson's Clay pit. Brown County Texas. Harpersville fm. Been told plant. Seed fern? Pteridospermophyta?

Is it possible that the 'wad of gum' wrapping the end is geological? An iron/sandstone accretion?

I agree with auspex that the wad is iron accretion but the rest is cast of plant stem I believe. I remember when this was found
