I need help identifying if this is a fossil

I found this while looking around at some dug up rocks in olney Illinois, and to me and my mother it looks like a fossil. I would like some help identifying it

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

How rare is it finding something like this?

 

You won't find them littering the ground everywhere, but where you find them they often litter the ground. :)

Crinoids are common -- especially in Illinois and Indiana, and some of the best are found in our area.
