Hello!

Maybe they are sponges in chert/flint nodule.

I agree they appear to be flint sponges (Upper Cretaceous). An approximate location would help although they are widespread in the UK, often well away from Cretaceous exposures.

The whiteish specimen looks to have tubeworms. :)

Yes Deal is on the Kent coast, only a few miles from the famous White Cliffs of Dover, classic flint sponge area. :)
