Flint?

Dinnar mate. I claimed to the bairns it was the tooth of a massive limpet eating fish dinosaur

Flint nodule.

The other one looks like crushed plant material from a coal measure.

A prehistoric plant or something that got mixed in when they were digging it up ?

??

Coal is made from compressed plant material. The pure black stuff is 100% plant material, formed in stagnant bogs. If the plant was deposited in a sedimentary area, it would end up mixed with silt which would compress to stone. I've got a glycopteris from Easington pit in the same colour rock as that.

Where did you find it?

Nailed on then. Its either colliery waste or been washed up from an exposed coal measure. Crack it open with a cold chisel, bet its full of leafy stuff.
