ID on a few things found in Compton Bay, Isle of Wight... Wood, rocks, and flint or something else?

Hi fossil people 🤘

I spent yesterday beachcombing at Compton Bay on the Isle of Wight (UK) and picked up a variety of interesting-looking pieces. I know this area is famous for dinosaur fossils and lignite, and unfortunately I am not very knowledgable on the topic. I'm assuming most of these are rock and flint, but I am hoping someone would be kind enough to tell me if I've found anything interesting? Pretty sure A-E is just carbonized petrified wood, with some pyrite in the smaller samples.

Let me know if better close-ups are needed 🪨🐚🦕
