Unknown fossil--please identify if possible

Location information should accompany all ID requests, it really helps.

 

As it is it looks like a burrow cast.

I'm not seeing evidence of bone. @ynot is probably correct about burrow cast, which would make your rock a trace fossil. Trace fossils are cool and I've collected plenty. :)

The texture that seems to suggest bone would be the result of more mobile/soluble particles having filled the burrow void and subsequently dissolving away.
