Time for another preview for the 2023 ESCONI Gem, Mineral, and Fossil Show.  Expect quite a few more!

This is a beautiful crinoid fossil from the Pennington Formation near Skyline, Alabama, which dates to the Upper Chesterian of the Mississippian Period.  The species is Scytalocrinus and it looks even better in person!
