Need some help identifying this fossil from North Attleboro, Massachusetts

I found this rock with both a Neuropteris scheuchzeri and this mystery fossil. I have seen nothing quite like it on the web but I probably just missed it. Part of is seems to overlap the Neuropteris and it seems to have a wide and thin part with the wide parts being further from the Neuropteris. Any help is greatly appreciated.IMG_7272.thumb.jpeg.ea1dabbde23b4f0f55df763d40944dc6.jpegIMG_7269.thumb.jpeg.46deffe1492a9e8cd65ea42b719ccead.jpegIMG_7268.thumb.jpeg.86a2c76869b38b2800108993ba310cd3.jpegIMG_7267.thumb.jpeg.186ac25e06a4e01c5d8a55c267e86aa7.jpegIMG_7271.thumb.jpeg.692d19143389351a41bc69923fd11353.jpeg

Last picture is through a microscope and focused on the overlapping part.

It has the general appearance of Asterophyllites sp. to me.

Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!
