Great finds, Paul! That cone is fantastic! 

 

1 - Pagiophyllum sp. 

2 - Equisetites sp. & maybe a cone scale? 

3 - Pagiophyllum sp. 

4 - ??? Could be a piece of Brachyphyllum sp, or a conifer cone scale - really not sure on this. 

5 - Nice Cheirolepidiaceae cone - maybe Himirella?

Well done, sir!   :)
