Here are two Edrioasteroids from the Verulam Fm. (Ordovician) near Brechin, Ontario, Canada.  The first one might be Isorophusella? (specimen is 1 cm in diameter).

The second one may not have enough present for ID:

I reckon that you are right on both counts.:D

The first one is a super specimen.

Hmmm. 

The not so well preserved one may be Belochthus ?

You are correct on the Iso.  Even though the second is poor it does look like a Belochthus.
