Fossil of something.
 

Here is a Jetton my wife found on the same beach 2 years ago

About 200 ft from the parking area behind the Lewes Yacht Club

What is this thing I found today at the beach in Lewes De (Lewes Yacht Club), I was picking glass and pottery pieces and this caught my eye. Its about the width of a quarter and as thick as my thumb.
==============================================================
To me this looks like a full section of a CRINOID stem.
I have found, in my area solid "mudstone" layers totally filled with very small ones all broken up.
 

Here is an anemone from modern times

I think you got it KeyaPaha....cool!
Edit:
knock off the soft tentacles and it's a real close match....good eye.

I was researching your crinoid stem...i threw one back in the ocean the same day...lol I thought it was a sand encrusted vertebrae, cripes...oh well i'll be back there in a month as my daughter lives 2 miles from lewes beach
