Photo of huge pine cones/what type pine tree?

Quoting:
•Pinus virginiana (4) - pic is too small to tell for sure, can you do a close-up, please?
•Pinus nigra maybe? (2) - not Pinus nigra; probably P. taeda
•Pinus strobus (3) - yep

Lower left to right:
•3 big cones from Mt. Tamalpais State Park, near Mill Valley CA; I thought these were Bishop pine (Pinus muricata) but now I think that they are like the Pinus jeffreyi in Resin's picture (though they have the 'hooks' like Pinus coulteri, and are heavy!)
•Pinus x schwerinii 'Prairie Giant' (3)


•Pinus virginiana (4) - pic is too small to tell for sure, can you do a close-up, please?
•Pinus nigra maybe? (2) - not Pinus nigra; probably P. taeda, but again needs a close-up
•Pinus strobus (3) - yep

•3 big cones from Mt. Tamalpais State Park - they are Pinus coulteri, or possibly P. sabineana (definitely not P. jeffreyi). Are the seed cavities more than half the length of the scales, or less? (see pic below)
•Pinus x schwerinii 'Prairie Giant' (3) - yep

Quoting:Being horrible at Pinus ID's, I'll take a stab at Resin's cone. hehe
Is it Pinus wallichiana?

Nope, sorry! (and only distantly related to that)
