Identification help: Bald Cypress or Redwood?

Hello,
Does this appear to be a bald cypress or a type of redwood? This was in Chicago, zone 6a. Thanks for your input!

Get a close up of the leaves. Dawn Redwoods have opposite leaves while Bald Cypress have alternating leaves.

Thanks very much. Will do and will update.

Yeah that looks like a Bald cypress from the cone
ZombieNick's advice is the best way to differentiate the two though

Thanks! I verified it is a bald cypress. I harvested about 100 seeds from pods that fell to the ground.
