looks like basswood.
worthless firewood, although makes fabulous kindling when its dry.
great for using as firemaking apparatii such as bow drill hand drills pump drills
great to use for burning bowls and spoons
stringy inner bark makes excellent and copious cordage

Both Tilia species that you see around here, basswood and littleleaf linden have a distinctive seed pod that doesn't look like that.
