Phylloxera texana
This is the first gall I've seen on BG or iNat that matches Phylloxera texana, which is distinctive for opening at the apex on the upper side, with only a small portion of the gall below the leaf. The only discrepancy is that that gall is only known from pecan, which seems rare if present at all in Iowa?

Pecan in Iowa
Pecan (Carya illinoensis) does occur in Iowa naturally along the Mississippi River in the southeast part of the state, but Linn County is outside of that small range.

This has to be hickory, and it seems like a pretty distinctive gall.

Any chance this was really a hickory?
Reminds me of a Phylloxera gall.

recheck
Joe, can you repost the plant photo for a recheck of its ID? Ash and hickory look a lot alike...

Host plant...
...is Green Ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica).

Correction
I agree the plant must be a hickory (Carya).
