This is a rare Ordovician fossil. It is a textbook Ectenocrinus simplex from the famous Walcott-Rust Quarry near Trenton Falls, New York. This specimen is from the quarry that Charles D. Walcott and James Hall made famous over a century ago!  The crinoid has great detail preserved, showcasing the long stem and long, branching arms beautifully. The crinoid also showcases the distinctly pinulated arms beautifully. Anyone who knows anything about the history of US fossils knows how important a rare crinoid from this locality is - it is a piece of history. This is a very collectible example of a rare crinoid from the Walcott-Rust Quarry.
