Looks like two "devils toenails" stuck together mate. I'm not sure on the proper name for them, nice find  :)

Nice unusual find. I've got a few myself (not rude comments please) the latest is a fossilised crabs claw. Probably the small one that's like a thumb.  Makes me wonder how big the big one was.

Gryphaea they are, a type of fresh water mussel, probably part of an old gryphaea bed.
