You can try running "gpart" on it.  That will try to discover the partitions.

# gpart /dev/sdb

Begin scan...
Possible partition(DOS FAT), size(14782mb), offset(3mb)
End scan.

Checking partitions...
Partition(DOS or Windows 95 with 32 bit FAT, LBA): primary
Ok.

Guessed primary partition table:
Primary partition(1)
    type: 012(0x0C)(DOS or Windows 95 with 32 bit FAT, LBA)
    size: 14782mb #s(30274944) s(8064-30283007)
    chs:  (3/60/1)-(1023/63/32)d (3/60/1)-(14786/39/32)r

That looks correct.  The stick likely came preformatted as FAT32.
Does "fdisk -l /dev/sdb" show any partitions?
If not, then run "gpart -W /dev/sdb /dev/sdb".  This will write the discovered partition table to the drive and you can try mounting it.

(inserted stick into left USB3 port)

# fdisk -l /dev/sdb
fdisk: cannot open /dev/sdb: No such file or directory

(removed stick; inserted stick into right USB3 port)

# fdisk -l /dev/sdb

The gnome file browser seems to not see the stick.  By the way, I've

Does windows see it?

never been able to figure out how to manually (from the command line) mount something.  File browsers do that for me nicely.

"sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt"
