Looks like the fossil wood that we find from the Devonian, at Deep Springs Road.

Yes, that looks like my petrified wood from my collection.

Where was this found? 

It looks like plant material from the Early Jurassic that can be found in the Connecticut River Valley.

It was found in east longmeadow. Lots of brownstone quarries. It looks to be the same type of stone from the holyoke dino prints 20 min away. Also does this look like a print?

[Fossildude19]

Cool. That makes sense. 

The fossils in East Longmeadow I believe are from the Portland Formation. Lots of tracks in the Portland formation. 

Do you have a picture of it?

Not seeing any dinosaur footprints, but some trace fossils/worm burrows, perhaps.

I think these could be burrows or feeding traces as well. I think you have found an interesting collecting site. I know very little about these, but a little online research does show that similar traces have been found in at least one of the nearby quarries. Here's a link to a research paper detailing some trace fossils found in one of those quarries. One of the photos has some similarities to yours and I think it's worth taking a look at.
