Is this a fossil?

I've had this for quite some time and it's always been interesting to me.  But I am not sure if it's a Fossil or what it is? It has a different texture.  It's about 2 inches long and 1/2 inch wide.

Where was this found?

 

Country, state or department, Region or county.

Views of the other side and the ends would help as well.

 

Cropped, contrasted, and rotated:

It was either in western WI, or near st. Paul MN where I hunt for agates. I'm thinking it was in WI though but it's been awhile so not 100%. I attached more photos.

Sorry, this doesn't look like a fossil to me. I would guess it to have been shaped by glaciers.

At best, this might be a weathered out ichnofossil, such as a worm burrow loosened from matrix.

Ok. Well good to know and thank you. 

I agree with it being a burrow cast.
