Hello all! I found this beauty in a dry (for now) creek bed in mid Missouri. Cole County. I am absolutely in love with it and would love to know what it is! Thank you for any information!

These are mold fossils of crinoid stems and pieces. The ones that look as there is a spindle in the center are stem segments with a lumen cast in them. The disk shapes (ossicles) are held together by ligaments that sometimes last long enough to hold a section of the stem together until it becomes buried.
