Egg sac. It's how I made my (tentative) id. Here's what it says in my Golden Guide:
"The female attaches her large egg sac to her spinnerets. if the egg sac is removed, the spider searches, and upon finding the sac attaches it to her spinnerets again. She may substitute bits of cork, paper, or snail shells for the egg sac if lost."
