Here is a picture of one sweet find. It appears to be a Zeacrinites wortheni (Hall, 1858) crinoid calyx fossil. It was found in the Glen Dean Formation of Grayson County, Kentucky, USA. The fossil is about 2 cm tall and consists of the calyx cup, arms and even some of the pinnules. The creature dates to Chesterian, Upper Mississippian Period.
