It is from the "Bog of Eternal Stench!"

Let's see if anyone gets THAT movie reference .

My guess is some (colonial) worm or coral.

I believe those are called Rose "something or another". I can't recall the name right off hand.

I believe you're thinking of desert rose, and I think you may be right:

No. 49567: Barite var. Desert Rose from Garber Sandstone Formation, near Norman, Cleveland County, Oklahoma in Online Mineral Museum

looks kind of like one of those combo pizza snacks, maybe a sediment concretion from my couch? And thank you Mud Hawk for filling my head with another image of the spandex-clad David Bowie. Thought I finally repressed that all-too-vivid childhood memory.

On the real, it kind of looks like some kind of coral or some concretion from the sea floor;then again I don't really know anything about coral.
