Looks like some kind of worm. Did a search on Google for mud worms and came up with this - http://wrgis.wr.usgs.gov/docs/parks/mojave/evlife1.html
Looks familiar...especially the balls of algae!

      - I wish those were fossilized algae balls and a fossilized mud burrower. - REB - 3/2/2004 1:02:16 PM
        
        Fossilized balls of algae sound better than algae balls, for some reason. - REB - 3/2/2004 3:39:20 PM
    - panel doesn't sound THAT momentous - dtb - 3/2/2004 2:02:03 AM
      - The news conference is certainly about water and not biology. - Buck Galaxy - 3/2/2004 4:05:17 AM
