The lack of venation leads me to a Plant for ID.  Not sure if it is Calamites, but definitely plant, in my opinion.

Calamites sounds right to me. Likely where a large branch joined the trunk.

  • Fossildude19 changed the title to Carboniferous wing insect or calamite?

Not an insect wing. I agree this is Calamites.

 

 

Mark.

 

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

I feel like I need to correct myself here. I had thought this to be an external mold. After further consideration I believe this is instead a pith cast. The taper would be quite normal near most any node.
