According to this 

https://s-iihr34.iihr.uiowa.edu/publications/uploads/GSI-088.pdf

there’s lots of brachiopods and echinoderm debris. If it’s either of those yours is pretty worn. The common brachiopods are Orthospirifer iowensis and Schizophoria sp.

Which look like this

and this

yours looks more like a worn Schizophoria sp. to me but it could totally be something else as I’m no expert on this formation or brachiopods. Maybe @Tidgy's Dad could confirm or deny that.

I think Adam said he was going out of town for a few days and got the impression he wouldn’t be on TFF.

Maybe @Herb or @jdp would have some thoughts.

Thanks, that’s good to know.

@fishguy I modified your picture to make it a little more detailed.

Looks like some kind of concretion?

I agree with this... I'm not seeing anything that screams out fossil to me :(

I also agree with concretion, although it looks like a very worn internal mold of something.

 

Here are, for comparison, some of the schizophoriae i've found, they have a very particular shape :

Found this on a field trip this fall.  Looking for any suggestions on what it could be.

I'll throw this out there as a possibility....even though the bottom view does not present itself as such, the top view appears similar to a trace fossil version of Conostichus

I suppose it could possibly be the internal mold of a discinoid brachiopod.
