Found along Lake Erie

Hi everyone, new member here. We went camping at Rock Point provincial park here in Ontario and we were amazed with the amount of fossils along the beach. From what I’ve read, the fossils are from a 350 million old reef but couldn’t figure out how to identify some of the items we found.  The first one looks like a conical shell, the second almost looks like a pill bug? And finally, the last is possibly the cross section of a plant?

Hoping someone here can help satisfy the curiosity of a first time fossil finder!

 

Thanks!!
