Pet wood? Found outside of a fast food place in Wisconsin. Most rocks here are older than trees but this was in a gravel pit.

We'll need to see the other side and edges.

I agree. It's not wood.

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

It looks like there were some diagenetic processes making it so strange. Maybe it's a banded chert like (silex) concretion/nodule.

Unless the gravel was transported glacially or by human intervention it is unlikely to  be more recent than the other rocks in your location.  I am not a geologist but that series of almost parallel lines occurs in nature (and has fooled me) moderately commonly .
