Picked up from the surface. I believe this to be bone. It was associated with the Poison Creek Formation in Southwest Idaho. Fossil in this area is lake shore. Petrified wood, Fish jaws/teeth/vertebrae. The photos show the fossil wetted with tapwater sitting on the seat of a lawnchair.

A straight on view of the opening end might be helpful.

 

Personally, ... I am not seeing a recognizable fossil here.

The texture suggests algae to me. I'm not sure how it would be preserved though.
