Another Quarry Find

Found another cool piece at work today- is it anything special? It came out of a load of rubble from the Milton Quarry, in Milton, Ontario.

Crinoidal limestone. 

You have horizontal and vertical cross-sections through crinoid stems and the molds they've left behind having eroded away or fallen out.

Accomplishing the impossible means only that the boss will add it to your regular duties.
