Mississipian/Pennsylvanian impression

First time posting, i dug lurking for a while.

 

Looking for some help to figure out what this is? Found in a region that could be Mississippi or PennSylvanian .  Looks like some kind of segmented something or other, worm or something.  but I don't know.

 

Let me know if any of you are able to tell what this is! I tried to use light to enhance the detail from different angles.

Very interesting. I'm thinking this is a trace fossil of some sort.

Wow, thanks.  Doing a Google image search of Scalarituba missouriensis brings up many photos that look JUST like it, including a thread with a photo from this forum!  Thank you, thank you.  I wanted to see if that was all of it or if it was part of something larger and I have my answer.

 

So not something rare but glad to have an ID. Was hoping it was a dinosaur bone (lol jk). Hopefully not blasphemy here but it's serving as an Aquarium rock for my African cichlids.
