Could be a crinoid or a sponge.

Thanks Walter. You've spotted a bunch of neat things yourself. I'll definitely take another look at crinoids for this one.

Thanks for "favoriting" my Dodder spotting, Kristal! You have spotted lots of interesting specimens -- I will need to revisit your collection when I have more free time. In the meantime, I can't be sure but your fossil reminds me of the top of a Crinoidea flower. What do you think? Walter, a.k.a., "Geodialist"
