Hey everyone, I found this fossil along the Don River yesterday. I believe there's a crinoid stem and coral fossil in limestone from Georgian Bay Formation. Is this right? Please let me know Thanks so much!

I’d really appreciate a confirmation, to learn more about the age of the fossil and maybe even the species.
