Identifying the fossils

 Thanks to Tom for telling us what our fossils were and for showing us much better samples!

Below is Siphonodendron.

This is Lithostrotion junceum
They are both corals from the Lower Carboniferous period so maybe 350 million years ago.
The circle is a cross-section through the stem of a crinoid, which is sometimes called a sea lilly.
