Crinoids! Those things fascinate me. There's a single complete crinoid fossil on display in the local museum, and I have vivid memories of seeing a seamount covered in thousands of sea lillies in an Attenborough documentary. I hadn't realised that intact fossils were (previously) so rare.

Nice! I have a few fragments - collected years ago - but no complete specimens.
