Found this in the garden, my mum was using it as a weight to hold down the drain cover.  Please can you help identify it? We know nothing about fossils!  Found in Kent, UK Near the beach but in the garden.  It's about 8 inches long.

My favorite things about fossil hunting: getting out of my own head, getting into nature and, if I’m lucky, finding some cool souvenirs.

As Kane said, they're rugose corals and they're from the lower Carboniferous rocks that they bring in as rock armour to slow down erosion. I think it's from a quarry in Somerset. The large ones look like Siphonophyllia which occurs frequently in this stuff.
