? Is this a crinoid head or flower or  crown whatever u wanna call it?  I'm an amateur hunter who loves hunting Fossils. Found these in North East Tennessee about 6o miles north of cookville. Thanks for any help

Mark.

 

Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!

Definitely coral. Hard to say for sure without knowing provenance, but I’d guess Acrocyathus proliferus. Looks like what I typically find in the St. Louis Limestone of Kentucky.
