Modern piddock (clam) borings is my first thought but it would have to have been in the sea for a while.
There also appears to be a fossil shell impression near the thumb in the second photo.

This is a bit problematic, as East Aurora, NY is nowhere near the sea.  :unsure:

It is near Lake Erie, however, and one obviously can't rule out human intervention. 


It is also possible that this is an example of Devonian ichnofossils,  worn away by creek/river action.
