Snakeskin Agate methinks. really cool stuff on the outside, but usually featureless on the inside I have a few pieces that look just like vertebra and a couple that look like...well, like white, wrinkly turds

I'm with John, either a limb or root cast. The shape is very similar to pink root casts I've dug at Texas Springs, NV. I used to collect a lot of Snakeskin agate too but in my experience it's almost always characterized by a wrinkled, scaly surface appearance that no doubt led to its name.

I have some Montana Agate that looks like that too... complete with the white coating on it.
