Agaricocrinus americanus Crinoid
Agaricocrinus americanus crinoids on display at the Indiana State Museum in Indianapolis, Indiana. Crinoids are from the famous Crawfordsville location found in the Edwardsville Formation. Animals grew in the Mississippian Period.
Next picture shows an Agaricocrinus splendens on display at the Muséum National D'Historie Naturelle Jardin Des Plantes Paléontologie et Anatomie Comparée in Paris, France. More than likely it is from Crawfordsville, Indiana.

Texas Echinoid Fossil
Unidentified echinoid found in Fort Worth, Texas. It is existed in the Cretaceous Period. My guess is it has the word aster in its name.
UPDATE (March 2020): This might be an Epiaster whitei? from the Kiamichi Formation of Denton County. Fort Worth is a very large area and exists in four counties (Tarrant, Denton, Parker, Wise).

Thanks to Herb for the fossil!
