Bang on old digger!
Here's my only complete 'sea floor' Crinoid (Sea Lilly) fossil 430-450 million yr old/ Silurian age. tf13, yours is the 'stem rings'...nice find.

To be a bit more technical, what you have is a cast of a segment of a Crinoid stem, with the solid and rather striking serrated portion representing what was the hollow space in the center of the stem. Basically, it's kinda like a 3-dimensional "negative" of a crinoid stem. They are common, but that's a nice looking example.
