      Maybe coral? I'm not really good with fossils though.

        Take it to your local University and ask an expert.

          The pic looks as if it could be palm wood.

                      Looks like a piece of turtle shell bone but does not look mineralized.

                        Cnidaria (aka coral). Pennsylvanian in age I'd say. Roughly 300 million years old
