Crinoid head?

[wildcatman71]

I was going through our loot from my dads creek in KY...where we find tons of neat fossils and what I call Indian beads....and found this. It was VERY diffucult to get great pics....but it looks like a crinoid head to me....although I am very new to the world of fossils. Any info would be greatly appreciated!!

I think I have hunted a location in IL that has that type of blastoids.
It's been a few years.

Yes, pretty cool to have that blastoid with the other images on there.
I loved the water on the apple and the bee. Thanks for the link..
