Busy outing Jammie. Haven't a clue what the coins in pics 1 & 2 are. Are they both sides of the same coin ?
Bottom pic middle row, you have a George 5th and 2 young Victoria half pennies. The others are just about scrap, can't see anything on them, sorry.

Had an email back from the museum
Hi Jamie,
This is a fossil coral from the Carboniferous.
It’s a lovely specimen as it’s a perfect cross section and you can identify the type really well.
It’s Dibunophyllum ?bipartitum and is from about 330 million years ago.

Good find!
Thanks for showing me,

Cindy

Great result, I'd never have thought it was vegetable. I found some Ages ago and was over the moon with it. Mine is club root moss, fascinating.
