Shell fossils from unearthed white lias stone

Hi everyone,

My name is Dean, I live In Bath UK where we build a lot of buildings from white lias stone. We often find a lot of shell and ammonite fossils while dressing the stone, Recently we were digging a trench through a while lias bed in the middle of a field for a build in bath and I found a stone which was made up from  pretty much all shell fossils, I bring them home for my little girl. I am an absolute newbie to fossil hunting and after browsing through your site I don’t even know if it’s worthy of posting! But my little one has asked me to find out what it is so here I am. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It's a colonial scleractinian coral. 

(I think) .

Hello, and a very warm welcome to TFF from Morocco. 

I got married in the Roman Baths and was a regular at the theatre there. Splendid place.
