Too big for a black locust. Maybe a honey locust. Do the trees have clusters of thorns on the trunk?

Our honey locust pods are about twice as long as that. Are they all that long? That looks like an immature one to me. Full ones will have lumps where the seeds are.
Best,

Tom, I was thinking immature or poor development. Mature honey locust pods are about 12" long and have a sweet taste to them. Deer love honey locust pods.

Honey locust pod.   
On still he goes with back berond of cedar shafts with feather frond;
for him the great success you see, is not to get, but just to be,
amidst the oak and the hickory tree.

As the others said good old Ky coffe tree, bark resembles light colored pecan. Split the hull fire roast the seeds and grind brew and enjoy. Take from a feller from Ky not to bad.
