Melissa Calvert, go to a geologic map of VT. to identify the primary rocks present in the location where your rock was found. Knowing the age and general geology of the area will help you to sort out if what you have is a fossil or other. Here is a link to such a map. I use such maps here in Montana to help me identify good locations for fossil hunting.
