Found this one today that I really like. It has 3 different specimens in it. Lacoea, Lepidostrobus Cone and I am not sure what the larger one is?

I am no help in identifying any of this, but I had to say what a very cool find. I am looking froward to seeing what these are.

behind the trailer, my desert
Them red clay piles are heaven on earth
I get my rocks off, bulldozers and dirt

Maybe Macrostachya sp?

That is a great plate, Sherry!

I'm thinking the large one is a complete Lacoea cone. I didn't realize until now that what was found previously is described by Richard Leary as Lacoea disks. The disks are arranged into a cone. Here's some illustrations from Leary 1973.

The paper "Leary 1973" is available here for download. It just recently was made available and I previously didn't have this one.

On this closeup.... I think the frilly edge parts of both items look very similar.

What do others think?

I think you are right on the money with that, Paul.

Yes, both the same, larger has same structure as smaller...even in the "body"

Thanks for your help in advance.
