Need species ID, if possible

Three more Mazon Creek fossils for your consideration and hopefully ID to species level. Thank you very much in advance for all the help I'm going to need.

Crenulopteris acadica ?                                Lepidostrobophyllum ovatifolius ?         Lepidostrobophyllum lanceolatus ?

Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!

@Mark Kmiecik Can you get a photo of the venation of the fern?

 

@connorp I'll try. Do you think I got C24 and C50 right?

I tried for a better photo showing the venation, but it's just not happening. I can see the venation with my loupe, and it matches Crenulopteris acadica, so that's what I'm going to label it.
