Fossil ID - First Time Fossil Hunting at Turimetta Head, Sydney, NSW

Hi everyone, I'm a first time fossil hunter and I went up to Turimetta head north of Sydney with a friend to try our luck. We found a few things splitting shale, and I was wondering what exactly they were - I understand that they're all probably plant material, if they are fossils, but wasn't sure exactly what type of plant they were from. Hopefully someone can help. Thank you in advance!

Assorted plant parts. The last two look like Calamites sp.

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