Microfossil Crinoid Spines?
These microfossils were found in the Lexington Limestone in Franklin County, Kentucky. They appear to be some sort of spines maybe belonging to a crinoid. Magnification was set to 40x. Fossils are from the Ordovician Period.

It is a Hyolithos; an enigmatic creature that some propose are mollusks.
Cheers, Solius.
Thanks for the identification.
After your comment I read some about the Hyolithos in the Index Fossils of North America.
It is good to learn something every day.
