Crinoid stems and Bodies?

[MSirmon]

Made a trip back to my Oklahoma place this week and started going through a pile of limestone from the Oologah formation which I believe is Mississippian in age. The rocks were gathered near the Oologah lake in northeast  Oklahoma. I have found many crinoid pieces over the years but never found any bodies. Are these worn and hidden crinoid traces?

[MSirmon]

Not sure but think maybe more crinoid pieces?

Hi, MSirmon,

Cool hashplate!

I do see some crinoid columnals, and column cross-sections, but I don't see any calyces (bodies).

There are a lot of bryozoa in there, particularly the lacey, fenestrate type.

They look like bryozoans, to me, Michael. 

Very cool crinoidal limestone.

This is what I am looking at and seeing calyces.

Need bigger, in focus pictures. Hard to make anything out when I blow these up.

Will do

Let's try this one. If it is still it big or clear enough I'll have to take better once I get back to Midland tomorrow.

The first looks like a cross section through a bryozoan to me, but wait for some others to weigh in.

 See what ya'll mean. Oh well, I'll keep looking.

This one looks like a bit of rugose coral:

I agree with rugose coral.  I have a number of these transactions that look quite similar.
