It's three arms of a crinoid. Sorry I can't narrow it down any more than that. You really are having fun teasing us with this new toy, aren't you? :)

Well done Howard!

Send me your mailing address via e-mail and I'll pop the sticker in the mail.

Congratulations. Beautiful close-up, no?

Woohoo! Thanks! I'll display the sticker with pride!

Yes, a nice closeup, indeed. What else can you tell us about this specimen? Looks like a chalky matrix; is this one of the Cretaceous 'noids from Kansas?
