Fossil plant? Creature? Pseudofossil?

Haven't posted here in forever, but can anyone tell me what I've found here? It initially struck me as a plant, but at the same time I can sort of make out what resemble a crayfish head (complete with antennae) and claw. Neat to look at, whatever it is. About 6cm long.

Pikeville Formation, eastern KY

A fossil twig with branches. There's a lot of Carboniferous deposits in eastern Kentucky which produces fossil plants. I picked up some nice ones there last September.
