ID this west coast native foliage

[mdvaden]

Here is foliage from 2 west coast natives.

Can you tell from the foliage which species, and which is the top and the bottom?

I'm not versed in the left coast stuff, but I'll venture a guess...

Top is Coast Redwood, bottom is Giant Sequoia, both from mature trees.

The 'clasped' or closed needle configuration threw me off at first... Looks alot like a Cryptomeria.

Isn't Cryptomeria in the same family as Sequoia and Sequoiadendron?
