Some early finds from Mazon Creek
I went to Mazon-creek back in May, but only just got around to trying to open the concretions up via the freeze thaw process. These are the notable ones I’ve seperated out (before any freeze-thaws).
Any ideas about any of these?

Picture 2-4 show what i think is a reed? or like, the base of a caittail? but I would love if someone knows more.
Pic 4 and 5 show what seems like to me is some sort of leaves, but cant tell the species.
Pretty sure the bivalve mussel looking guy is wilkingia,
I have no clue what the second to last is,I thought it was a fossilized nut or something (looks like a chestnut lol) but nuts didnt evolve for a couple hundred million years after these wouldve formed.
