This is an excellent example of the Cambrian cystoid Gogia spiralis. Gogia is an Eocrinoid and is among the earliest groups of echinoderms. For this reason they are sometimes called a "dawn crinoids". They had a vase-shaped body (calyx), covered by plates that were symmetrical and have a bifurcated brachiole, a slender arm-like structure for food-gathering that closely resembled those in cystoids.
