Is this a fossil?

Hey all,
For the longest time, I've been carrying around this rock that I believe is a fossil (since I was eight, actually). I've asked various science teachers and professor about it, and about half of them believe it is a fossil, while the other half aren't sure. I now turn to you, H/A, for help with this. I've taken three pictures (three different angles), but if you need more specific ones, I have a high-res capable camera and the object of interest sitting right next to me. Just ask!

Thanks!

Socialism is the concrete foundation of America. Capitalism is the flimsy tin shack that sits upon it.

"That's a rock."
Is there some kind of a bone or other anatomical feature you think it looks analogous to?
Yes, actually:
I think the part that I have circled in red is a fossilized worm (or something like that).
But other than that, just the way it looks, you know? I don't know...besides the "fossilized worm," whenever I look at it, I imagine that it is a joint in some prehistoric creature.
Worm's don't fossilize - all they are is soft tissue. A worm fossil would be easy to notice becuse what fossilizes is the imprint the body leaves behind.
It looks like a rock to me :P Good job for carrying it around for so long though.
Yeah I would say thats probably not a fossil...
