Hey friends I took a little walk at lunchtime today cracking shale along the way. Found this in the split of a piece of the harder gray/black/blue shale that doesn't have many fossils in it .... that I have found, anyway. Is it a crinoid ? from the calyx up ? Very interesting tentacles ... or whatever they're called. Its quite small. The calyx (if that's what it is) is about 5mm diameter. Could this be prepped out ? Looks like it would all be there, but quite delicate and tricky to expose. Thanks for looking

Can somebody help identify this and give me an idea how old it is? I found it on a dirt road about a mile from the Potomac River in Western Maryland, and about 1000 feet up on a ridge. I can see 8 arms (one is hard to see, along the edge), so I am thinking this is the arms of an octopus, or something related to it. But the arms are rather short, and they seem to radiate out like a sea anenome, so maybe not. This is my first ever fossil find.
