Looks like cross-section of the trace fossil Diplocraterion.

Yes, looks like a pyrite filled burrow (I am not well versed on ichnofossil taxonomy).  At least that sort of looks like pyrite, could just be the wetness giving me that impression.  I assume the picture is looking down on the bedding plane.
