Ligaments that connect the layers (ossicles) together last long enough for segments of the stem to fossilize in articulation.

In other words, it's a piece of the stem from a sea lily called a columnal.

Layers would seem to indicate multiple columnals. That's why I called it a segment the length of one of the sets of connecting ligaments.
