Crinoid+ (Little Current, Manitoulin Island, Ontario, Canada)

Found on the shore of the North Channel at Little Current, Manitoulin Island, Ontario.

 

The side of the piece features a transverse view of a Crinoid. Can this be ID'd more specifically?

 

Above is some sort of shell. Can this be ID'd?

 

There are various other small fossils, though I don't know if those are identifiable.

Crinoids can be hard to ID from just their stems but maybe someone more familiar with the area can propose a more specific ID. The item at the top looks more like a cross section through a solitary rugose coral to me.

Interesting. I had assumed it was a shell due to the rounded shape, but I guess that could be due to weathering. I found another piece nearby that is most probably Horn Coral.
